“International Mothers of Monaco” celebrates the Principality’s attachment to family values and multiculturalism. The book will be prefaced by Mr. Stéphane Valeri, President of the National Council of Monaco, who has been at the initiative of many laws in the Principality in favor of women.

Motherhood shines through the magnificent portraits of mothers and their children of all nationalities, living in Monaco.

 


A slow and deep maturation

Fifteen years ago, Valentina Selvaggia de Gaspari returned to Monaco where she spent part of her childhood. Mother of two boys, she immediately appreciates the exceptional environment offered by the Principality for the education of children. Valentina is also amazed by the multiculturalism of the Principality, where 140 nationalities coexist over only 2km2 with the greatest tolerance.

She then imagines transcribing and transmitting this diversity through the magic of photography, highlighting the grace and elegance of mothers and their children from around fifty different countries, all resident in the Principality.

« From genesis to revelation, it took five years of work to organise and photograph these magnificent women with their children. It is a hymn to the family, the translation of charm, femininity, motherhood, but also an ode to joy and multiculturalism. What better way to represent the Principality? Furthermore, in order to forcefully reveal both the singularity and the universality of each portrait, I gave a particular attention to the texts accompanying these portraits. These texts we will make discover anecdotes from each Country » explains Valentina Selvaggia de Gaspari.
