Giorgio Armani was nominated this morning a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. The head of state, Sergio Mattarella, received the designer at the Quirinale.

"This is a particularly important recognition for me, because it was handed to me by our President of the Republic, the highest institutional office, but also a man of immense value, of great openness and kindness", said Armani, adding: "I am proud to represent Italy in the world, and I am honored to receive this prestigious honor, by his hand on behalf of the country ".
