Ada Pilastro, almost 6 years old, lives in Rome with her mother. She practices artistic gymnastic and she has an immense admiration for her uncle Andrea, who lives in Milan. Andrea Pilastro, also called “Zio Andrea”, recently reminded the importance of role models for children : uncles, godfathers and friends, so I decided it was a good occasion for an uncle/niece interview! Andrea works in fashion &communication; he is the director of And’studio Milan.

When shopping with Ada, do you try to influence her choices or do you give her total freedom? I am lucky I guess because she always picks up the stuff that I like! Maybe I influence her in a special way, without telling anything…
