Gué's necklace in Sorrentino's film.

Paolo Sorrentino's cinema has always been an aesthetic investigation into the beauty, melancholy and soul of an Italy that oscillates between the sacred and the profane. With his latest masterpiece, “The Grace”, which opened at the 82nd Venice Film Festival, the Oscar-winning director surprised the world by integrating the voice and imagery of one of the most powerful icons of Italian urban culture into the narrative: Gué.

For us at Risivi & Co., seeing Guè shine on the big screen and on the red carpet in Venice is a source of pride, a confirmation that excellence calls for excellence. Guè, a historical client and friend of our maison, represents that combination of style and depth that Sorrentino wanted to immortalize in his work.

Toni Servillo rapping “The Babes Cry.”

In one of the film's most iconic and unsettling scenes, the protagonist Toni Servillo, who plays the President of the Republic Marino De Santis, finds himself listening to and almost “rapping” the bars of “Little girls cry.”. The 2015 cult song becomes a generational and psychological bridge: the president becomes obsessed with it, looking to Gué's lyrics for a key to his own inner “grace.”.

The quotation contained in the passage, “Sorrentino wouldn't have made a better take.”, written by Gué over a decade ago, resonates today like a fulfilled prophecy. The director said he discovered the rapper's music through his wife and was impressed by that “painful vein” hiding behind the aesthetics of success, a theme dear to Sorrentine poetics.

Gué's Style: Between Screen and Red Carpet

Gué's participation in “The Grace” is not limited to the soundtrack. The rapper appears in a memorable final cameo, bringing with him that aura of “King” that sets him apart. His style, with attention to detail, finds its natural complement in the jewelry we have been creating for him for years.

This is not the first time that Risivi & Co.'s works have accompanied Gué during the high points of his career. If you would like to discover the genesis of his most iconic creations, you can explore more here:

The Syntony of Gold and Cinema

Why did Sorrentino choose Gué? Because they both seek the truth beyond appearance. The same truth that we at Risivi seek in every brilliant cut diamond and in each merger of 18kt gold.

A piece of jewelry, just like a film by Sorrentino or a rhyme by Guè, is an object destined to defy time. In the film “La Grazia,” Guè's music humanizes institutions; in our workshops, gold and precious stones shape our customers' dreams and goals, making them eternal.

Whether it is an important necklace for a movie set or a personalized ring to celebrate a personal achievement, the philosophy does not change: art requires courage, vision and uncompromising craftsmanship.
