Winner of the 1996 World Press Photo of the Year, Francesco Zizola has documented the world's major conflicts and their hidden crises, focusing on the social and humanitarian issues that define life, receiving numerous awards, including ten World Press Photo and six Picture of the Year International. With "Mare Omnis," where nets used for tuna fishing photographed by a drone seem to depict archaic graffiti and distant constellations, Zizola confronts us with the question of what we really look at when we see an image and, through photography, opens up new possible understandings of the complexity of reality.

Saverio, tell us about yourself. I would start by saying that I have been involved in extraordinary finance for over 20 years. Over the course of my career, I have developed a particular passion for Made in Italy, and the rescue of the Borsalino brand was a very significant moment for me, as it made me realise even more the importance of supporting the Italian companies most representative of our manufacturing tradition.

In addition to the quality and eco-sustainability of the fabric, our garments focus on modern elegance, as well as simple lines and meticulous tailoring. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Five years from now, our dream is to see Mermazing grow and expand into new markets while continuing to create our collections with the enthusiasm of the first day.

From fabrics, to accessories, to handcrafted tailoring, where our golden-handed seamstresses allow us to make our ideas come true.
