Max Ernst said: "the hat completes the man" but we would add "... and the woman too".
Marinetti had even launched the "Futurist Manifesto of the Italian Hat" and praised the economic practicality of the straw hat in general and the boater in particular.
We who love hats in all its forms can only recommend Alice Catena's website: montegallo.eu , and its display of hand-woven and hand-sewn straw hats under the Montegallo brand.
She is an enterprising young woman who has re-evaluated and, we would say, stylized with great taste the hats which in the Marche already have a strong tradition in the Fermo area.
Embellished with pompoms, peacock feathers and rhinestones, the hats continue to smell of wheat from the Marche lands but have shapes that also recall Texan ranches or Australian farms.{:}{:en}
Max Ernst said: “a hat makes the man” and we would also say “…not only the man, but also the woman”. Marinetti even wrote a “Futurist Manifesto of the Italian hat”, exalting the economic convenience of the woven straw hat in general and of the boater in particular.
We do love hats in their several shapes, and we're happy to advise the website of Alice Catena, www.montegallo.eu, with her exhibition of handcrafted woven straw hats under the brand name Montegallo.
She is a young and resourceful woman who reassessed and – I would say – stylized with taste, hats that have a long tradition in the Marche region and particularly in the Ferman area.
Decorated with pompons, peacocks' feathers and rhinestone, hats smell of local wheat, but their shapes remind me of Texan or Australian farms.{:}
