One of my favorite discoveries in Genoa is the clothing store Ghiglino. A family owned local shop that is over 130 years old, Ghiglino embraces traditional British style with an Italian twist. They have lightened my pocketbook on each visit.

I was thrilled to be able to interview two generations of owners at the shop, Alba Barabino and Elena Queirolo. We discuss the history of Ghiglino, how it became the thriving store it is today, how they balance traditional style with changing trends, and the time that actor Stanley Tucci stopped by.
