Do you believe in “insulomania” ? Ivana and Bruno La Fata are living proof that “insulomanics” really exist. She’s from the Balkans, he’s the son of Sicilian emigrants. They have scoured the seas from Corsica to Sardinia, the Balearics, the Cyclades etc., in search of typical and original creations. With some enchanting encounters and surprising discoveries. Their “booty” is regularly brought back to their boutique called “Insula” in Monaco. Patchwork quilts, handmade and hand-painted ceramics, ex-votos and rattles, baskets, embroidered linen, artists’ jewellery… Ivana and Bruno try to recall their initial reactions to their finds, and share them in their showroom - which has become something of an island at the heart of the Principality. Insula, 16 rue de Millo, Monaco (00 377 97 77 80 95).
