This fall, Lara Fabian goes on an
international tour that will take her to the
United States, Russia, Belgium, Switzerland,
France, and, of course, Quebec, her adoptive
land. It has been quite a ride for this woman
of Italian descent; she came from Belgium in
the early 1990s, and with her unique voice
and outstanding energy, she was able to
conquer the hearts of Quebecers. Millions of
albums sold, numerous tours, and thousands of
shows could not begin to exhaust the passion
and simplicity of this artist. Today, Lara
Fabian enjoys life more than
ever.  We first met in 1991 while
shooting the video “Je
m’arrêterai pas de
t’aimer.” I remember you as a
passionate young lady, both enthusiastic and
very friendly. How do you remember your first
steps in Quebec? I remember those
moments very fondly. My career choice is no
coincidence: both my parents were music
lovers. Dad would teach me songs in English
and Mom would always be singing around m

Montreal, 1959. Pino Miserendino, a master
watchmaker and his wife, Pina Giannantonio,
open their very first boutique on St.
Zo­tique East street. Pino had no idea
that 60 years later, his jewelry store would
become a genuine institution in the heart of
Little Italy. As an expert watchmaker, Pino
could design a watch movement from A to Z, as
well as building, cutting and assembling
pieces. Custom jewelry was also another side
of his expertise: watchmaking and
jeweler’s craft are not far off each
other, since mastering the former allows the
latter. The Miserendino family is pursuing
this beautiful heritage to this very day,
with all the passion, professionalism and
know-how Bijouterie Italienne is renowned
for. From its early days as an
engagement ring and watch repair specialist
to its current incarnation as a showcase for
current trends, Bijouterie Italienne
experienced a genuine growth in its 60 years
of existence. The jewelry store features
prestigious brands such as Pomellato, Ro

Tissot is very much a modern watch brand, but
it is also a brand with a rich heritage.
Founded by Charles-Félicien Tissot and
his son Charles-Émile in 1853, it makes
it one of Switzerland’s oldest watch
companies. Today, it is known as a sporty,
accessible, entry-level luxury brand that
appeals to all age groups. Le Locle, a
village in Switzerland’s famed
watchmaking district, is where
Tissot’s original factory was founded
and the brand continues to thrive. In the
beginning, Tissot & Fis specialized in
gold pocket watches and pendant watches, with
a large part of its business being
ladies’ watches – Sarah
Bernhard was even a client. Many of
Tissot’s watches at the time were
exported to the U.S., but its biggest market
was Russia. In 1885, Charles Tissot,
Charles-Émile’s son, moved to
Moscow to manage the branch his father had
set up there. It thrived until the October
Revolution in 1917, which forced Tissot to
regroup and focus on making their own moveme

When you visit the wine cellars of Moët
& Chandon in Épernay, 10 to 30
metres below ground a shiver runs through us.
Not only because of the cold, but also
because of the rich history of this great
champagne house created almost three
centuries ago in 1743. When you roam
around those vast limestone cellars that
stretch out over 28 kilometres, you begin to
think that one of the mazes might lead you to
Napoleon Bonaparte sabering champagne with
his friend Jean-Rémy Moët after
having granted him the Legion of Honour. The
emperor liked champagne, but he also liked
the boldness and business acumen of the
founder’s grandson, Claude Moët.
Napoleon would often visit the estate after
his campaigns, and the champagne Moët
& Chandon Brut Impérial was created
in his honour back in 1869. What can
explain 150 years of such tremendous success?
It’s all about the perfect balance
between three grape varieties: Pinot
Noir, Pinot Meunier, and local Chardonnay,
along with a ble

Adornetto notes, «I had the idea to make
a canvas with a face of a determined lion
ready to make a good race! The original work
was done on a canvas of 54 x 54 inches,
painted with a spatula and knives directly on
the canvas. I imagined the Beast in [the]
bright and vivid colors of the Porsche GT3
collection, an amalgam of Guards Red, Lava
Orange, Racing Yellow, Miami Blue, Lizard
Green, and a touch of
Chalk.» «When Geneviève
Lauzon, Vice President Marketing and
Experience Lauzon, asked me to collaborate on
the new look of their GT3 Cup race car, I
accepted the invitation with
pleasure!” says Mr.
Adornetto. Adornetto’s work is
reproduced and wraps on the hood, wings, and
roof of the GT3 Team Lauzon Autosport, driven
by Patrick Dussault. The cars with this
technique add a unique touch to the team and
help them stand out. The 27-year-old
Dussault competes for the third year behind
the wheel of the n77 Lauzon Autospo
