Greatest Italian fashion brands, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, Tiffany & Co. luxury jewelry brand and Christie’s auction house join forces to help the famed Duomo di Milano/ Milan Cathedral with “La Moda aiuta il Duomo” initiative. The Gothic cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete. It is the 5th-largest church in the world and the largest in Italy.
For almost seven centuries the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano has been involved constantly and tirelessly in the activity of preservation and restoration of the great Cathedral, to ensure the infinite splendor to visitors and worshipers. In order to the high costs related to the restoration of the 135 spires of the Duomo, as well as the most urgent structural work, from October 2012, the Veneranda Fabbrica launched a new fund raising campaign “Get your Spire: engrave your name in History”.
Following that path, the Veneranda Fabbrica decides to write another chapter of the project, following the form of art, which more than any other represents a sign of strength and excellence of Milan in the world: fashion.
