Canali names Stefanos Tsitsipas as its new brand ambassador
The partnership will see the Greek featured in exclusive editorial content, official appearances, and bespoke campaigns "that explore a new expression of modern elegance," according to a press release.
Off court, he will wear the latest Canali creations designed to reflect both the sportsmen and the brand -- "quietly confident, impeccably constructed, and timelessly relevant."
'Stefanos stands for more than performance, he represents values we believe in deeply: dedication, composure, and the constant pursuit of excellence. He brings depth, integrity, and a strong sense of identity — qualities that align naturally with our vision," said Stefano Canali, president and CEO.
Known for his strong backhand, the 26-year-old sports star was born into a tennis family -- his mother Julia was a professional on the WTA Tour and his father Apostolos trained as a tennis coach, introducing Tsitsipas to the racquet sport at age three.
The professional has been ranked as high as world No. 3 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals, first achieved in August 2021 – making him the highest-ranked Greek in tennis history.

Ganna first to pull out of Tour de France in blow for Ineos
Former time-trial world champion Filippo Ganna pulled out of the Tour de France on Saturday's opening stage after struggling to shake off injuries from an early fall. The Italian Ineos rider would have been a contender on the lengthy stage 5 individual time-trial, having won the world title in 2020 and 2021. Ganna, a former two-time time trial world champion, crashed on a bend with 132 kilometers to go. The Ineos rider took a long time to get going again, after changing bike and even shoes, to catch up with the peloton. But he was dropped on the Cassel climb and decided to call it a day some 65 km from the finish of the first stage in Lille. It's a big blow for the Ineos team and for the 28-year-old Italian, who had enjoyed a fine classics campaign, including a second-place finish at Milan-Sanremo in March. Ganna was a candidate for victory in the stage 5 time trial in Caen, as was Stefan Bissegger. The Swiss rider from the Decathlon-AG2R team also fell on Saturday, four kilometers after Ganna, in the company of Belgian Thibau Nys. Visibly stunned, Bissegger underwent a concussion protocol before getting back on his bike. But he then put his foot down on this very nervous first stage in the North.

Super-wealthy on the move: Italy to attract 3,600 millionaires in 2025
More than 142,000 millionaires worldwide will relocate in 2025, according to research by Henley & Partners, a company specialising in consultancy for citizenship and residency programmes. Around 3,600 of them will choose Italy, ranking behind only the United Arab Emirates (9,800) and the United States (7,500), but ahead of Switzerland (3,000). The decision is driven by geopolitical tensions and increasing global tax competition, with the number of high-net-worth individuals ready to relocate having more than doubled in the past decade. The CR7 flat tax: A key to fiscal attractiveness Since 2017, Italy has been applying a special tax regime known as the 'CR7 rule' (an acronym coined after footballer Cristiano Ronaldo), which allows non-domiciled residents to pay a fixed annual tax of €200,000 on income generated abroad, for a period of 15 years. For family members opting for the same regime, the flat tax drops to €25,000. The regime applies to income from financial investments, image rights, capital gains and foreign inheritances, while income produced in Italy is taxed ordinarily. Milan, a new hub for international high finance The recent abolition of the tax regime for 'non-doms' in the United Kingdom, individuals resident but not domiciled, has prompted many international millionaires and managers to move to Italy, particularly Milan. Names such as Elio Leoni-Sceti, Bart Becht, Richard Gnodde and Nassef Sawiris have chosen Milan for its tax advantages, quality of life and quick access to European markets. In addition to the favourable tax conditions, Milan is experiencing a growth in luxury services, with new exclusive clubs, high-end hotels such as Rocco Forte and Rosewood, and an expansion of international law firms. Italian financial wealth: $7 trillion and growth prospects According to the 2025 Global Wealth Report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Italy ranks eighth in the world for investable financial wealth, with a total wealth of approximately $6.9 trillion in 2024, slightly down 1.1% compared to the previous year due to a less favourable market environment. Of this wealth, 40% is invested in equities and mutual funds, 25% in deposits and currencies, 18% in life insurance policies and pensions, and 8% in bonds. BCG predicts an average annual growth of 6.5% until 2029, with financial assets potentially reaching $9.455 trillion. Millionaires and the super-rich in Italy: taxation and quality of life Italy is home to about 517,000 millionaires (with assets over one million dollars) and 2,600 super-rich with assets over one hundred million dollars. The number of millionaires is expected to grow by 1% annually over the next four years, while the ultra-rich segment will grow by 3%. Supporters of the tax regime believe that the arrival of millionaires encourages consumption, investment and the creation of new businesses, contributing to tax revenue and economic development. Sceptics, on the other hand, warn of the risks of downward tax competition and the inflationary impact on the real estate market and services, especially since many super-wealthy citizens choose Italy to enjoy their retirement. Beyond tax advantages, Italy is attractive for its Mediterranean climate, cuisine, proximity to the sea and mountains, and a lower cost of living compared to London or Monaco. These factors, together with excellence in luxury services and a growing financial and legal network, make the country a popular destination for high-net-worth individuals seeking stability and a good quality of life. Other destinations for millionaires Besides Italy, other cities are attracting millionaires thanks to favourable tax regimes and high standards of living. Dubai, for example, offers zero taxation and a dynamic capital market. However, some cities, such as London, have seen a flight of millionaires due to high taxes and political uncertainties. According to Henley & Partners' report, London has lost about 30,000 millionaires in the last decade.

Aurélien expands in Harrods with full men's and women's footwear offer
Aurélien, the 'quiet' luxury brand, has launched a signature footwear collection at high-end department store Harrods in London. It said the launch 'marks an important milestone in Aurélien's international retail expansion, bringing its refined Mediterranean aesthetic to one of the world's most prestigious department stores'. New to Harrods is the women's footwear collection that 'showcases elegant silhouettes, sophisticated neutral palettes, and the same commitment to exceptional Italian craftsmanship and materials that define the brand'. This includes its Softey Yacht Loafers, Voyager Loafers, and new Cashwool Active Knit sneakers for men. The expansion to its existing presence in Harrods comes after the Dutch fashion brand also opened a pop-up space at the neighbouring flagship Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge in May. It continues in the space until September with its now dual Kighstbrige bases able to fully take advantage both of local shoppers and the huge number of tourists who visit this area of London in the summer. Another pop-up is scheduled to launch at Selfridges in the West End, it also said, neatly covering off London's two key luxury shopping neighbourhoods. The brand offers a full line-up of women's and men's clothing, shoes and accessories, with footwear. All garments and footwear are made in Italy and across Europe, 'combining artisanal tradition with modern functionality'.
