In the film Showgirls (1995), the heroine says she purchased her dress at “Ver-sayse”, an indication that the lowly stripper was moving up in the world, even if she couldn’t pronounce Versace correctly. Moving up in the world is now literal for anyone staying in Dubai with the opening of the five-star Palazzo Versace Dubai.…

It’s in the middle of the Sicilian countryside – near Corleone – with views of hills, meadows and avenues of pines and eucalyptus…
Robert Clayman climbs mountains and strides Roman ruins to find a little jewel straight out of a childhood spent watching The Italian Job and eating a lot of continental chocolate. Hip. On me, it was the first thing that went. A twinge turned into a chronic, intermittent stab. Suddenly, I was putting my pants…
