The prima ballerina

Carla Fracci

Portrait of Queen Margherita of Savoy

Carla Fracci, an icon of grace and discipline, embodies the essence of artistic excellence and Italian elegance.

Internationally renowned as one of the greatest ballerinas of the XX century, she is a symbol of dedication and strength.

Born in Milan, Fracci rises to become prima ballerina at La Scala Ballet School in 1958.

Her ethereal presence and expressive performances in the most prestigious theatres around the world - from the Royal Ballet to the American Ballet Theatre - make her a legend in the world of ballet.

Fracci’s quiet perfectionism is reflected in her training sessions, during which she repeats even the smallest gestures until they conveyed the exact emotion she envisioned. Because, for her, dance is not about movement – it is about truth.

Carla Fracci was not all about discipline, she also had a playful side. She used to join Rudolf Nureyev for late-night cha-cha-cha parties after performances that would last until dawn.

Her interpretation of femininity and her determination inspire the minimalist lines, lightness and timeless allure of our Carla bucket bag.
