ROMAN HOLIDAY

Úrsula Corberó swapped her native Spain for the streets of Rome for our cover shoot by renowned Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti. “Mario is an icon,” the actress says. “He’s a person who transmits a great sense of calm, but he is also keenly aware of his surroundings and very observant. I love chatting with him, and playing in front of his camera. I felt free.” Decked out in dazzling pieces from Roman master jeweller Bvlgari’s Fiorever collection, Corberó appeared to have the time of her life. “Mario told me he wanted me to be myself; he didn’t want me to play a character. We all have many characters within ourselves, we are not just one person. He gave me permission to experiment with different moods with each change of clothing, staging and setting. I let myself go and it was marvellous.”
