Top O’ the Briefing Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. I bet most serial killers are drawn to canneries. Sure, we fought that war all those years ago to break free from the clutches of British royalty, but we’ve never completely shaken off the vibe. Just look at how many people here are obsessed with Prince Harry, his wife the Duchess of Sussudio, and their new baby daughter Niblet. I believe they have a son, too, the Grand Mage of Riverdale or something. We also have a tendency to revere some of our politicians and their families a little too much for a representative republic. The most recent examples of that would be the Obamas and the Bidens.
Stefan Behling, head of studio, Foster+Partners, said, “The joy of the project was to peel back and rediscover the layers of history throughout the building and revealing its eclectic past, which ranges from the historic painted ceilings and the frescoes by Fabio Cipolla, both from the 1890s, to the more recent graffiti artworks by Afro Basaldella. Palazzo Marignoli has seen so much throughout its history, and we feel truly privileged to be able to be part of its newest phase of life. Especially, as Rome is one of my favourite cities in the world.”

A Palazzo Reborn: Inside Apple’s Stunning New Store in Via del Corso, Rome The grand staircase at Apple’s new store. Earlier today, Apple officially opened their new flagship retail store in Rome, Italy. Located on the popular Via del Corso street in the city’s historical center, the new store – which we previously covered here – is located in the historic Palazzo Marignoli, a 19th century building that has been renovated by Apple and painstakingly restored to its former glory. I, along with our designer and photographer Silvia Gatta, was able to visit the Via del Corso store yesterday ahead of its grand opening to the public. Coincidentally, the occasion also marked the first time Silvia and I were able to visit the center of Rome free of red-zone restrictions since October 2019, when we took an amazing tour of Rome to demonstrate the iPhone 11’s camera capabilities before the pandemic hit our country in early 2020.
