The inauguration of Orizzonti | Rosso marked the opening of PM23 inside Palazzo Mignanelli, the historic Roman headquarters of the Maison. Conceived as a dialogue between art, couture, and contemporary culture, the exhibition introduced a new chapter in Valentino’s exploration of identity, beauty, and its iconic red. Guests were welcomed into a fully immersive environment, where spatial design and chromatic storytelling shaped a vision that reflected both the heritage and the evolution of the House.

The celebrations continued at Casino dell’Aurora Pallavicini, one of Rome’s most extraordinary private residences. Within its Baroque architecture — layered over the ruins of ancient Rome — the PM23 cocktail event created a meeting point between fashion and centuries of artistic history. In this rare setting, guests experienced an intimate encounter between the Maison’s contemporary language and the frescoed grandeur of a landmark seldom open to the public.

The evening culminated with a gala dinner at Palazzo Barberini, where the sixteenth-century palace was transformed into a scenographic tableau of candlelight, shadow, and Baroque resonance. Under Cortona’s vaulted ceiling and within Borromini’s architectural lines, the event staged a powerful interplay between ritual, color, and presence. The dinner paid tribute to the enduring relationship between Valentino and the city of Rome — a dialogue sustained for over six decades and reimagined through the vision of PM23.
