Francesco Carrozzini has spent his career translating beauty into images. Raised by legendary Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani, he grew up surrounded by the photographers, designers, and artists who shaped modern fashion before carving out a career behind the camera himself. After directing documentaries, commercials, and television, he is now finishing his latest feature film, Una Famiglia, for Amazon MGM Studios, shot entirely in Rome. Between cinema, fashion, and Italy, few people have a sharper eye for what deserves to be looked at. This week, he shares the objects that have earned a permanent role in his life
