Lavinia Biagiotti has learned to be tough running an Italian fashion house in her native Rome.
And if that wasn’t challenging enough, she has also made history bringing the Ryder Cup to her country for the first time together with the Italian Golf Federation. Now the countdown is on for September 29 next year when Europe will host America at her Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome.
The course is in the garden of Biagiotti’s home as she grew up and lives in the beautiful castle in the grounds of the 7298-yard par 72 course, which this week hosts the Italian Open. The 16th century property was once home to Galileo but she has lived there since four and roamed the land as a kid.
