Celebrate: the art of the special occasion
by Lucia van der Post
Autumn 2009
“While on the subject of Italy, Emily FitzRoy at Bellini Travel can sort out any number of truly special experiences all over that beautiful country […] The big celebration has to be something requiring sophistication, insider knowledge and serious contacts…Here’s where the experienced party planner or events organizer really earns his or her stipend. Emily FitzRoy of Bellini Travel, whose beat is Italy, can organize a private organ recital in the Duomo or the Basilica of St Mark’s, or fix a visit behind the scenes of La Fenice. In Rome, she could organize a fantastic banquet in the still privately owned Palazzo Colonna, where you dine in a room with frescoes on the vaulted ceiling and walls lined with Tintorettos, Piero della Francesas and Titians.”
