Our 15th edition of the AMUM Scholarships, in which we have supported 115 students, has been a truly emotional success. We have awarded 14 scholarships to students from Marbella and San Pedro de Alcántara who have shown that hard work and dedication pay off. 

Prior to this, nine of the young women took part in four hours of training with Jessica Breitenfeld (https://www.jessicabreitenfeld.com) to learn public speaking skills. We have thus celebrated local talent that demonstrates academic excellence, leadership and communication skills.

New series: Love and luxury in cinema

Sabrina is a sophisticated film — it begins with the longing gaze of a chauffeur’s daughter from the branch of a tree and culminates in a life choice that transcends social classes — full of style, haute couture, summer, grand mansions and captivating beauty. It is the story of a personal transformation set in the most glamorous of Paris; it is a portrait of the contrast between business ambition and the purity of feeling; and, above all, it is a tale that dazzles through the youth and innate elegance of an Audrey Hepburn at the height of her career. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1535[3] – November 16, 1625) was an Italian painter, considered the first successful female painter of the Renaissance. She cultivated portraiture and self–portraiture, establishing new rules in the field of female portraiture. At the age of twenty-seven he settled in Spain, at the court of King Philip II. He is credited with an important role as a link between Italian and Spanish portraiture in the sixteenth century, as well as a notable influence on the subsequent development of this genre in Italy. Her career was a precedent for several women artists who had been excluded from academic teaching, guilds and workshops and papal patronage, but who did find support in the European courts between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
