He used a umbrella transparent the Queen Camilla a Paris, to shelter from the light rain that was falling on the French capital: a domed umbrella, with a silver edge that allowed the French public who came out into the streets to see her. But the next umbrella for Camilla will be all Italian, produced by an ancient Neapolitan laboratory: a laboratory that is a piece of history of the Neapolitan capital, an extraordinary example of our local know-how.
The company, which dates back to 1860, has already created an umbrella for the king: sent to London when Charles was still Prince of WalesCarlo's umbrella has a full handle in steam-bent bamboo wood, in silk-effect fabric with double waterproofing and a tip in real horn, to act as a lightning rod.

Now, a similar one will arrive for Camilla, but it will be transparent, so that the Queen's face and the transparent bamboo handle can be seen. Created in 1860, the ancient workshop Mario Talarico exports umbrellas all over the world and in the next few months will open in Napoli an umbrella museum that will showcase the models created over the decades (from Limited Editions - like the blue one, which is exclusive to the British Royal House - to animalier models, including parasols).
