La Collezione Elena

Serendipitous Encounters sul Lago di Como: An aesthete and his muse

Away from the public eye, sits a grand villa steeped in a history of cultural pleasure. The Villa Passalacqua of Count Andrea Lucini Passalacqua in Lago di Como served as the inspiration and birthplace of Vincenzo Bellini's most adored operas, Norma and La Sonnambula.

Amidst the echoes of Bellini's melodies and whispers of artistic passion, a serendipitous encounter unfolds to share the story of La Collezione' Elena', the debut collection of Gallello Atelier. Captured against the glorious setting, the campaign pays homage to the love and artistry of couturier patternmaker, Dominic Gallello, and the pieces he made for his wife, Elena.
