Quotes from the set

"This project instantly reminded me of Fellini".
Miles Aldridge talking on set, at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, about the Lavazza Calendar.

"Through the music, melodies and arias I glimpsed stories that told bittersweet tales, dramas, rebirths. I was reminded of characters and stories from films like La Strada and La Dolce Vita".

Even the six Calendar models are strong-willed heroines.
"I didn't just want six beautiful girls. I wanted six women who could prove they were larger than life".

The life of Aldridge (married with four children and living in London) is all about light and colour. "I can draw inspiration from anything: a bright red garage in Soho, a woman wearing a green coat crossing the street. The fabulous orange in pictures by Francis Bacon or a palette of colours put together by the Wizard of Oz".
