Arco della Pace: Roberto Cavalli Spring Summer 2012 collection – the venue.   The venue for the Roberto Cavalli Spring Summer 2012 collection was once again the impressive Arco della Pace or Arch of Peace which rises prominently behind the Sforzesco Castle.  Built during the Napoleon rule, to celebrate the glories of the young French emperor, the monument was begun in 1807 by architect Louis Cagnola, but was interrupted by the defeat of Waterloo and was later completed in 1838, by Emperor Francis I of Austria. The neo-classical marble opera is decorated with sculptures and Corinthian columns: on top beautiful decorative bronzes of six horses lead a wagon led by Peace.
