Shot by English photographer Sam Gregg, the campaign for the 23/24 Away Jersey, highlights Arrigo at Cipriani’s legendary Harry’s Bar, the historic restaurant founded by his father Giuseppe in 1931, which in 2001 was declared a national heritage site by the Italian Ministry of Culture. This iconic location in the city of Venice has been frequented by international celebrities and intellectual artists. From Katherine Hepburn to Andy Warhol, from Orson Welles to Peggy Guggenheim to Ernest Hemingway, whose novel, Across the River and Into the Trees was inspired by Venice’s Harry’s Bar.

To quote Arrigo Cipriani directly, few cities in the world have a soul and a style like Venice: “Venice is the city of style, a city built by the Venetians and therefore full of soul; whoever put the first stones already knew that he would never see the finished buildings but he put them anyway, driven by a movement of the soul”, says Cipriani.

Within our Away Jersey featured campaign, Arrigo Cipriani, is featured with his natural simple yet elegant style in front of the iconic Harry’s Bar a staple destination in the city of Venice. In addition to the emblematic Harry's Bar, other locations chosen for the campaign for the Away Jersey include the beautiful island of Torcello located in Venice’s northern lagoon inhabited since the Roman times, and Piazza San Marco seen from Cipriani's own boat.
