WHEN I STOPPED POLITICS in 2001, I entered the world of combustion motorsports. Ten years in, I realized that there was an opportunity to use motorsports to push alternative technologies, and I came up with the idea of an electric version of Formula 1. I organized a dinner to introduce Jean Todt, who had just been elected president of the FIA, and Antonio Tajani, vice-president of the European Commission in charge of the car industry in Europe. During the dinner, the idea for an electric car cha...

Since 1920, jewelry has been a family legacy for the Repossi's. It all began when Alberto Repossi's grandfather opened the first High Jewelry factory in Piedmont, northern Italy. In 1978, Alberto Repossi, along with his wife Gio' Giove Repossi, inaugurated their first store in Monaco, followed by another in Paris' Place Vendome in 1986. By 1994, Repossi became the "Official Supplier of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince of Monaco." His exquisite creations have adorned royal families and celebrities, including Princess Diana's engagement ring offered by Dodi Al Fayed in 1997, and the engagement ring for H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco's future wife, Princess Charlene of Monaco.
