Designed by Mario Trimarchi in 2011 for Alessi, the Fiato Sul Collo ('breathing down your neck') necklace. This Fiato Sul Collo necklace comes with a story. The piece is inspired by the harsh Scirocco winds from Trimarchi’s early life in Sicily. An extraordinary combination of the small rectangular metal cards resulting in a fascinating asymmetrical piece. The metal cards represent various papers blowing away by the warm Scirocco wind. The necklace is flexible which symbolizes the ability of multitasking by a woman. This Fiato Sul Collo necklace is in new unworn condition. Delivered with original jewelry box.
