An institutional tribute celebrates the figure of Valentino Garavani: his stylistic legacy has become a collector’s item on the date that coincides with his birthday, which is today, May 11, 2026. The Ministry of Economy and Finance, as reported by Ansa, announced the issuance of a commemorative coin dedicated to the designer, who passed away last January 19. <\/p>\n\n
The project was developed together with the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato and involves the creation of two distinct versions, one with gold and one with silver coinage. The objective is not only celebratory, but also symbolic: to fix in a tangible object the cultural impact of one of the most representative figures of Italian fashion, who has always been synonymous with refinement, aesthetic rigor and craftsmanship. His career helped build a stylistic language capable of bringing Italian elegance to the center of the global scene and influencing generations of designers. <\/p>\n\n
Among those who have commented on the initiative is Giancarlo Giammetti, a historic collaborator and central figure in the history of the Valentino maison: “For me, and for our Foundation, it is a source of great emotion to see recognized, even through such a significant initiative, the contribution that Valentino has made to the style, culture and image of Italy in the world,” he said.<\/p>\n\n
Michele Sciscioli, CEO of the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, highlighted how the coin represents a way to translate Valentino’s creative greatness into a symbol destined to endure: “With this issue we celebrate not only the creative talent of an extraordinary master of fashion, but an authentic symbol of Italian excellence in the world. It is the highest tribute we can offer him: a coin from the Numismatic Collection of the Italian Republic, capable of translating memory into a sign destined to last. His art, his vision, his style, once again eternal.”<\/p>\n\n
