The beginning of summer marks the arrival of a long-awaited appointment with the print edition of celebreMagazine. Indeed, to be more precise, the edition marked by the second letter of the Greek alphabet, Beta.

Because if the Alpha number, with the iconic Sophia Loren on the cover, has already become a collector’s item, the next one, with the legendary Grace Kelly, promises not to be outdone.
Although these are difficult times to be talking about beauty, considering what the whole world is going through, it is also a period for reflection, inner dialogue and rediscovery; our chance to make the best of this total immobilisation imposed by an invisible and silent enemy that has arrogantly taken over the entire planet. Nature is regaining its rightful place in the hierarchy and taking backspaces to remind humans that we are not the masters of Earth, but merely guests here.
So, talking about beauty is not utopian or out of place, so much so that it has become the cornerstone of celebreMagazine, which opens its editorial with the words of the famous author Fëdor Dostoevskij “Beauty will save the world”. It is nourishment for the soul, it is the kalòs kagathòs of ancient Greek culture, which sees in beauty the absolute value given by the gods to man, it is Plato’s aristocratic ideal to stand out from the crowd. What is beautiful on the outside is also beautiful on the inside, in a game of mirrors and perfect harmony.
To pay homage to beauty, the magazine starts with the excellence of the Principality of Monaco, its art du bien vivre, and the timeless charm of its quintessential Princess, Grace Kelly, passing through hotel hospitality, the passion for speed and for the sea epitomised by the Automobile Club Monaco and Yacht Club Monaco. The stability of a business that knows how to integrate the pleasures of free time.
The strength of the expressiveness of forms is celebrated through the architecture of Zaha Hadid who, with her ever-changing fluidity, has become one of the most influential women of our time. Our unmissable feature on art, a must that has its roots planted in the vision of celebreMagazine itself, showcases talents such as Daniele Basso and his trademark mirror-polished steel selected to create his works that exude vital energy and freedom.
Antonio Murgia reinvents pop art with expressive and intense colours, giving life to a new iconography with a disruptive impact, and last but not least, Sabina Golin, a painter with a dreamlike eclecticism, pays homage to female allure with elegance and flashes of light created by glass on canvas.
Nutrition is also an important factor in maintaining our inner equilibrium. The food that we choose to nourish and purify ourselves helps to make us the person we are. Here we take a look at the tailor-made food experience with Il Palato Italiano, respecting the seasonal and local nature of traditional Italian products.
The beautiful and well-made, the craftspeople that aim at uncompromising quality, can be admired in the refinement of Hermès garments, in the Rolex watchmaking mechanics, in the legend of a vintage car elevated to the rank of a work of art like the Ferrari 250 GTO, and in the aerodynamic and rounded shape of a Gulfstream G700 jet.
The seductive art of beauty compels us to rise up and be part of it. And this is the intention of the Beta edition of celebreMagazine.
