The beach cover is beautiful, because it's just a beautiful photograph. Has absolutely nothing to do with fashion.
The rest are whatever, tbh. Farnetti was a terrible editor, but I agree that he takes too much of the blame for the weird mess Vogue Italia has become.
It takes an entire team to ruin a magazine, and Vogue Italia has many destroyers, who are still employed. As I've said here many times, Franca was on her literal death bed, and she
still manages to leave this earth with an iconic goodbye issue.
The last years of Franca were really bad actually if I recall well.It takes an entire team to ruin a magazine, and Vogue Italia has many destroyers, who are still employed.

Totally agree! VI started to be less great when the VI/Meisel split happened. But those covers, compared with what Farneti and Verderi did are glorious, even the second half of 2015, the worst time under Franca. I really like the art direction under GB. I loved how he create sections as "Code". I didn't liked when he started to put "the...issue" with the same font on every cover, and the name of the model/talent and photographer there, but at least he respected Franca's legacy. I can't believe that Grace Elizabeth cover was under Farneti, but I credited all to GB. Wish he never left. Even he made a incredible cover story with Kendall, a highlight in her career. The first issue of Verderi was OK. I was in the room of my ex boyfriend (the same day he left me for another), and I wrote here that I liked Karen's and Gigi's covers. When the "no photo issue" came, that was the real end of VI. That was a total joke. The pick of that was the kids issue months lather. Black canvas was cool, but not the rest. Farneti did his best at L'Uomo because he belongs to men's magazines. I blame CN for named him in 2017. It was rushed.Yeah, you do. Many of the editorials were wonderful during that time, but the art direction inside the magazine was incredibly dated and overdue for a change.
Although I personally didn't see this at the time, Giovanni Bianco's creative direction was like a breath of fresh air. Naturally, he had his ups and downs but overall he was good for Vogue Italia. And then Verderi's arrival ruined everything.

When was she fashion forward? All she cared about was to sell editorial space to advertisers. It was about photography but fashion was always secondary there.
