FROM THE EDITOR
Garden VARIETY
I don’t like things on my head. Ever. I was always the hoodless kid on a cold
playground, and now I’m the only helmet-free (and frowned upon because of
it) adult in my bicycling group. So when I was advised that I’d need to make a
millinery exception for an event called Hats in the Garden—less than a month
after I’d started at Naples Illustrated—I pondered my career path with great
angst. And then I bought a glorified headband that some would call a fascinator.
I called it a compromise.
It was at my first Hats last fall that I began to discover the contrasts of Naples that
have captivated me ever since. Its residents are some of the most accomplished
people in the world yet also some of the most approachable. And while they
have an elevated sense of couture, they’re equally comfortable in a tennis skirt.
But where Neapolitans come together, perhaps more so than anywhere else, is
in their love for philanthropy and the cultural arts. In this issue, we celebrate both.
The first Hats in the Garden, a fundraiser for the Naples Botanical Garden, was
held in 2004 and is now considered to be the opening event of the social season.
We explore this elegant luncheon and salute the women behind it beginning on
page 70. Also this month, we raise the curtain on the many Paradise Coast arts
options that await you, from new productions at the Gulfshore Playhouse to the
new home of the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center, and from free
Naples Concert Band shows at Cambier Park to Broadway’s Hamilton and more
MEGAN DIPIERO
at Artis—Naples. Options abound in our curated guide that starts on page 76.
Generosity and creativity cover the same canvas, meanwhile, in Art Aid Na-
ples, a group of prominent local artists inspired by the efforts of a former teach-
er and a nun turned attorney. What began as one family’s story (page 92) has
evolved into another stellar example of Neapolitan largesse. Philanthropy can
be found not only in nonprofit organizations but also in area businesses, such
as Ultimate Garages, which will open this month. Turn to page 30 in our Insider
section to learn why owner Jim Buonavolonta, a longtime Naples cardiologist, BRIM REALITY
says charities are closest to his heart. LAST NOVEMBER AT
With the excitement of a packed calendar simmering (along with the Thanks- MY FIRST HATS IN THE
GARDEN LUNCHEON, AN
giving gravy), we at Naples Illustrated are grateful to bring you the bounty of arts, EVENT THAT LAUNCHES
culture, and acts of kindness that make our city so special. Welcome to season. NAPLES’ SOCIAL SEASON.

The local arts community is
reframing itself thanks to the launch
of the Collier County Arts and
Culture Strategic Plan, which
includes three public forums to
encourage input on how to pro-
mote the area as an arts destination.
The first meeting, which occurred
in September, generated ideas
ranging from a Collier County arts
magnet school to a Naples festival
in December to lure patrons west
from Art Basel in Miami.
“The ideas have been wonder-
ful and very realistic,” says Kristen
Donovan, community engage-
ment coordinator at the United
Arts Council of Collier County,
which has partnered with the Cul-
tural Planning Group, a consult-
ing firm that’s collecting informa-
tion through forums, a survey,
and more. Discussion groups
and interviews will be conducted
through January, and a draft plan
will be presented to the commu-
nity in February.
“The reason that Naples is so
sought after is that it’s a small town
with big-city culture,” says Kristine
Meek of Harmon-Meek Gallery in
Naples. “The arts have always been
important to the economic fabric of
our community, and it’s good that
people are talking about where we
can go from here.” (uaccollier.com)

Coastal COOL
Once a blank slate, this Naples
home now personifies refined
yet easy FLORIDA LIVING
By Mary Thurman Yuhas | Photography by Naples Kenny
Situated in the beautiful Esplanade Golf & Country Club, a

gated community in North Naples, this new three-bedroom
residence is blessed with an outstanding tropical setting
but inside, the 3,000-square-foot home lacked personality.
After interviewing five interior designers, the owners com-
missioned Sarah Anderson, principal designer of Designing
Naples, to transform their bland abode into an exciting study
of coastal-contemporary decor.

The kitchen exemplifies the neutral end of the

home’s color story, while the lanai features
bold pops of blues, greens, and metallic.
Anderson began by selecting the color palette, starting with a gray

she found in the variations and striations in the wood-like tile floor-
ing. Mineral blues, aqua, and various whites mirror the home’s natu-
ral surrounding. “Some wood tile floors do not look as fantastic as
[these do],” says Anderson. “The secret is to use grout that is a little
lighter than the dominant color, and then you don’t see little white
lines everywhere.”
Next, Anderson focused on incorporating visually intriguing ar-
chitectural features, such as shiplap in the foyer. “The shiplap looked
so appealing, I wound up using it in almost every room,” she notes.
Other alterations in the foyer included painting the entry door a tradi-
tional black and installing a freestyle chandelier with interchangeable
iron cubes. As Anderson points out: “Using a traditional element with
something modern prevents a dated look.”
For the great room, Anderson custom designed an impressive me-
dia center that became a focal point. Louvered plantation shutters at that crowns this space. “It has a sunburst motif in the middle and a

Guests have a number of sleeping arrangements to choose from
when visiting this home. The nightstand lamps in the aqua guest
room were fabricated from reclaimed wood. Shiplap on the back
wall showcases the linen headboard trimmed with polished-nickel
nail head tacks. A hemp-rope table (which also functions as a chair)
and porthole-shaped mirrors further emphasize the room’s seafaring
aesthetic. The shiplap detail continues in the gray guest room, but
this haven boasts a more tranquil approach to design, complete with
handmade lamps featuring river stones. The desk was built almost
entirely from reclaimed wood and glazed a charcoal gray to match
the console and nightstands.
One of Anderson’s favorite elements on the expansive lanai is the
hand-blown bubble glass from Mexico, which adds a pop of panache
to what would otherwise be a blank wall. The colors are also Above: The master bedroom

Under Anderson’s guidance, the home now reflects the cli-
ents’ laid-back lifestyle and appreciation for a natural, simple
look. “The recipe was there right from the beginning,” notes
Anderson. “I located the ingredients, created a recipe, and the
project evolved forward.” «

works written during Beethoven’s very rich

by Orion Weiss, Yura Lee, and Clive Green-

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
OF NAPLES
WHAT IS THE SECRET TO YOUR LONG-TERM SUCCESS?
For 67 years we have welcomed all with the love of God made known in Jesus Christ. Our soaring sanctuary is filled with music and praise,
prayers and preaching—traditional worship that is open to the Spirit. We respond to God’s grace in gratitude, joy, and service.
WHAT QUALITY SETS YOU APART FROM OTHERS IN YOUR FIELD?

We believe all people are created in the image of God and are to be valued and loved. We seek to become our true selves as we follow
Jesus. Our staff is a creative, caring, and committed team. Our elders and deacons lead with energy, intelligence, imagination, and love.
For all that has been we say, “Thanks!” For all that is to come we say, “Yes!”
WHO OR WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU TO SUCCEED?

Our mission statement says it all: “In the Heart of Naples with the Love of God: we worship, we love, we grow, we serve.” From infant to
seasoned adults, we are here for you. Our preschool is celebrating its fifty-seventh year. We have open minds, open hearts, and open hands.

Realizing that assisting a client in restoring their sense of self-worth is unquestionably the most valued contribution I can provide.

TASTE By Mark Spivak
Mussel
MANIA
This classic appetizer has been on the Barbatella menu since the restaurant opened in 2012. “It’s a hearty, Sicilian treatment of a traditional Italian dish,”
says Jason Goddard, corporate chef for the Aielli Group. “We steam the mussels with white wine, garlic, tomatoes, and oregano. They pick up the acid-
ity from the tomatoes, and the sauce gets infused with the juices from the mussels as they open.” While Goddard has experimented with different ver-
sions, customer demand always brings this one back. “We use wild Maine mussels or ones from Prince Edward Island, depending on the season,” he
adds. “The most important thing with shellfish is to use the freshest possible ingredients, and we pride ourselves on that.” (barbatellanaples.com)

SET THE TONE

From Allergan, the folks who deployed
fat-cell-freezing CoolSculpting in the battle
of the bulge, comes a new way to tone
abs, thighs, and butts. CoolTone, a device
that uses magnetic muscle stimulation to
strengthen and tone muscles, received FDA
clearance in June. It works by penetrating
muscle layers to induce involuntary contractions. The body responds
by strengthening muscle fibers, which reportedly firms the treated
area and creates a more defined appearance.
This noninvasive tool launched exclusively in Southwest Florida
earlier this fall at Pura Vida Medical Spa in Naples. “The technology
that CoolTone uses typically delivers results that are visible approxi-
mately six weeks after the initial series of treatments, which involves
four sessions in a two-week period,” explains Eric Salata, a board-
certified physician who owns the spa with his wife, Jill. He adds that the
subjective observation of the treated muscles feeling tighter or firmer
happens much sooner. He also notes that some mild side effects may

Q&A
AGENDA By Mary Murray
COMIC Relief
Comedian Paula Poundstone might operate under the belief that nobody listens to her, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Per-
haps best known for her frequent appearances on the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me, she also was the first woman to
perform stand-up at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, has penned two books, voiced a character in the film Inside Out,
and hosts her own podcast, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone. When not at home with her two dogs and 13 cats, Poundstone
maintains a busy touring schedule. Ahead of her upcoming stop at the Southwest Florida Event Center in Bonita Springs on
November 22, NI caught up with her to discuss comedy and the secret to winning a public radio game show. (swfleventcenter.com)
