Made of silk tulle, organza, chiffon, georgette. Fastened on the bride's head with pearls, hairpins or gold threads. Handed down from mother to daughter, from generation to generation, from hand to hand. If we stop to think, the veil is the object that, for centuries and more than any other, has materially connected women to their ave. It has created a connection between them: the one that emanates from holding between the fingers a veil that our great-grandmother, sometimes our great-great-grandmother, had sewn, worn, folded, kept. Born to ward off evil spirits before the wedding, transformed into an emblem of beauty, enriched with precious embroidery and also declined into a veil, the veil has always represented a rite of passage, telling the story of the "see-through/unseen" effect and finally becoming an accessory capable of transcending the often narrow confines of marriage. The seductive ladies of the Belle Epoque thus preferred the veil to adorn their head: knotted under the chin, fastened with a pin, reworked in the style of the femme fatale, the veil became a symbol of elegance, sensuality, irresistible charm. The object beyond which hides the gaze of every woman, even - and especially - the seemingly most reserved and unattainable one.
