There must be something special in the waters of the Adriatic , because no one creates quite like Italians too. They gave us the world’s most famous movie ( The Godfather ) and the world’s most famous fairytale ( Pinocchio ). They gave us the world’s favorite food ( pizza ) and the world’s most famous painting (the Mona Lisa ). They gave us the world’s most famous poem (Dante’s Divine Comedy ) and the world’s most famous artists (Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo). They even gave us the very name “America.” (Yes, it’s true — è vero! Look it up!) And, fittingly, they also gave us the world’s most famous fashion designer: Giorgio Armani, who died earlier this month at the age of 91.
