Marylou Whitney (1925-2019)

In 1958, C.V. married Marie Louise Schroeder Hosford, who would become known to the world as Marylou Whitney—a sparkling presence affectionately known as the “Queen of Saratoga” and a tireless advocate for the sport of racing. Together, they revitalized Saratoga’s summer season, entertaining with warmth and flair at Cady Hill and the Canfield Casino, where Marylou’s legendary parties blended elegance, humor and excitement. Following Cornelius’s death in 1992, Marylou continued her deep involvement in the racing community and later married John Hendrickson, with whom she shared her passion for philanthropy and horse racing, in particular the backstretch community and the National Museum of Racing.

The Cipullo name is synonymous with iconic jewelry designs and a dedication to quality, precision, and absolute elegance. Renato Cipullo was born in Naples to a family of prodigiously talented jewelers, and spent the 1960s in his boutique living La dolce vita on the fashionable coast of Ischia and the vibrant city of Rome. Since the 1970s, Renato has lived in New York and been at the helm of his eponymous jewelry and design brand. The glamour and excess of New York in the 70s has become an essential part of the brand’s DNA. Pieces Renato designed at this time continue to be reinterpreted and integrated into new collections.

Renato’s stunning bespoke and custom pieces have been beloved by his private clients who rely on his meticulous eye and exquisite craftsmanship. Worn by European Royalty and the likes of Marisa Berenson, Renato’s iconic designs evoke the simple yet elegant posture of Italian design. Renato’s work is inspired by nature, romance, antiquity, and the Renaissance, all with an Italian twist. See less
