So nothing to do with clothes then

Only silk robes.

Returning visitors may wear cashmere.

Third pic shows a statue of foo I think (standing on an ionic capital for convienence).

Who participate for this Ménage? Was any woman, or only Rubinacci father with son and mafoofan and some other?

What kind of prices are we looking at for Rubinacci bespoke now a days?

is that the 'atelier'? it does look like a cathouse....

That is the store, the workshop is one level above it.
Personally, I find ateliers only in France (lol).

How does everyone seem to get a tour of the workshop? (Rubinacci, Marinella, Isaia, wherever...) I was too scared to ask! Do you know them personally, just ask or arrange ahead of time?? I feel like I am wasting my time going there and not seeing "behind the scenes".

I'm sure if you're going and will be buying stuff they may accommodate a request like that. If you're just browsing they'd probably be more reluctant.

Marinella does not show the workshop, that would, eh be probably a bit....difficult.
All the industrial and semi indsutrial or semi sartorial (call it however you like) makers like Kiton, Isaia, Caruso, Belvest etc. do it on appoinment without problems normally, but you should ask about photos.
On facebook a Korean fan of Lino posted pictures taken during the tour of the Caruso factory (ca.80-90% of the tailored clothing at Al Bazar is Caruso made) of LV garments being made up, I guess someone will get executed for that (via friendships/contacts I could visit the workshop resp. company that produces handbags for some big name french houses and they promise serious problems if you take any pictures there...).
Rubinacci also has the workshops next (Milan) and above (Naples) the stores what makes a visit there easier (and they were more or less trimmed to be visited after they put all the tailore dclothing production in house) while the factories of all the big companies (and the workshops of many famous tailors like Panico,Sabino or Solito) are somewhere outside/ in the peripherie of the actual place they are associated with.

Cravate, could I ask what it is you do for a living? Just curious. If not, I understand.
