Jeweler, artist
Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura (20 March 1898 – 15 August 1978) was an influential Italian jeweller. His career began with an introduction to designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel by composer Cole Porter.[1] He opened his own jewelry salon, which he called Verdura, in 1939.[2]
He was the last to bear the now-defunct Sicilian title of Duke of Verdura, and his cousin was a prominent Sicilian prince, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, author of the famous novel The Leopard. A biography of Fulco di Verdura was published by Thames & Hudson, authored by Patricia Corbett.[3]
