Fatherhood is a lifelong job. It’s a role that comes with a wealth of rewards and plenty of challenges. There is no masterplan, rule book or job description. You learn as you go – and will invariably make mistakes along the way. But with the wisdom of dads who’ve discovered that by actively engaging with their children, maintaining positive communication and demonstrating respectful relationships, a father figure can have a profoundly positive impact on children’s lives.

When it comes to the art of living beautifully, no nation has mastered it quite so well as the Italians. In the bel paese, revelling in life’s simple pleasures – be it a leisurely evening stroll with friends or beautifully cut blazer – is part of the national identity. This wonderful lust for life is something that we at MR PORTER are keen to embrace during these languorous summer months (and beyond). And as it turns out, there’s no need to hop over to the Amalfi Coast to do so. Here, a few of our favourite Italians – and expats – have shared their secrets to bringing a touch of the dolce vita to the everyday.
