If Princess Kate’s first day in Italy gave people a lot to talk about when she was welcomed by the mayor, Marco Massari, her second day was no exception.
The Princess of Wales started the morning at the Salvador Allende preschool, a center where children learn literally surrounded by nature.
The Reggio Emilia philosophy, which considers the environment as “the third teacher,” is precisely the kind of approach that Kate has been studying for years through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, so seeing her explore those outdoor spaces with genuine interest is not surprising at all.
She then went to REMIDA, a creative resource center supported by more than 200 local companies where industrial materials that were going to waste are turned into tools of exploration for the little ones.
It’s the kind of initiative that fits perfectly with her early childhood agenda, and it was clear that it wasn’t a protocol visit but one of true exchange.
For this second day, she chose a blazer from Blazé Milano and a bracelet from Atelier Molayem, an artisan jewelry company based in Milan. A diplomatic nod through her wardrobe, something that has already become one of her most recognized hallmarks.
The moment that everyone will remember came at the Al Vigneto agritourism, where she shared a lunch with the people she had met during the visit and ended up with an apron on, learning to make artisanal pasta. Between the flour and the rolling pin, it’s Kate with no filters.
This trip closes an important cycle. After cancer and a recovery that kept her out of the international spotlight, coming back with such a content-packed and well-executed schedule is a clear signal. She wasn’t picking up the pace; she was redefining it.
