​

​​​Susanna Avesani-Pinto built one of the leading fashion consultancies in Italy assisting luxury retailers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Legendary stores such as Harrods in London, Henri Bendel in New York, and visionaries such as Club 21 in South East Asia are among her long-standing clients.  But it is not the artful deal-maker that captivates, it is the woman. 

 

Without a doubt, the story of this poster-woman of Italian glamour is a story of many different women—but all in a single lifetime. It is the story of the bad girl and the good wife. The story of a self-made millionaire, a parent who chose to be single, a glamorous life of travel, adventure and love, the agony of losing a child to cancer, the pride and joy of raising an accomplished and independent daughter, of finally finding a life partner. 

 

Behind the champagne personality that will disarm you in less than a minute, stands a professional powerhouse that is never afraid to reveal her humanity. A woman who knows that life is both precious and short, so no triumph is too minuscule for a celebration, no task is ever devoid of purpose, and no encounter with another person is just that. With a sharp edge of reckless elegance, she is a woman who will encourage you to celebrate everything — a promotion, a fantastic new
purchase, the first time you stood up to your vicious boss, a good pasta, whatever. Susanna will cause you to fall more deeply in love with your life.
 

Like many, Susanna has run up against the major challenges of existence: How to recover from the death of your child, how to reconcile yourself to romantic failures, how to make the most of every moment so that life does not drain away unappreciated. And there have been smaller puzzles, too. How to avoid getting drawn into a pointless argument with your daughter, or how to organize the seating for a high-stakes business negotiation.

Unlike many, Susanna not only makes the best of it. With every new situation she sees an opportunity, a celebration in the making; and this appetite for life in constant motion is what makes being with Susanna so invigorating and ultimately what makes extraordinary lives.
