Enzina Fuschini is a designer and artist of Italian origin, working and living in the UK. She has collaborated with renowned artists and displayed her art at numerous occasions worldwide such as Rome, Milan, Paris, London and New York, and has designed a number of brands such as Darlings, and Exotica developed during a long period of collaboration with Harrods. Fuschini's life and work is strongly linked to three celebrities, the Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico, the Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed and the British rock artist Gerry Rafferty. She was married to the Count Philippe Asinari di San Marzano.

During her period in Paris, Fuschini started to participate in numerous exhibitions.[1] Several of works realised during this period were acquired by American collectors. She was responsible for a new current in art, the <<Sincérism>>, a term already coined by Prof. Gian Giacomo Migone an expression of personal impulses and freedom, more than external influences.[2][3][4]

During her second period in London she was based in Kensington, at 26, Campden Grove W8, and after 1994 in Sandbanks, Poole, in Dorset. During this episode, she became known as Enzina Fuschini Young. In London she was invited to exhibit at a succession of fashionable galleries.[1] Around 2005 her daughter Virginie collaborated with her in an art studio they ran together in central London. She started to develop her own commercial brands in design, and regularly worked for Liberty’s, Harvey Nicholls, Beals (Bournemouth) and Harrods (London).[5][6] Her designs appeared on amongst other fabrics, furniture and fine porcelain.[7][8][9][10][11][12] She was active in numerous charity initiatives during her exhibitions and events.[13][14][15][16][17]

The painting, created during the same evening and sold at the charity auction, represents him and all the other celebrities present and was signed by all present.

Her house and Studio in Dorset ("The Lighthouse" on 48 Banks Road in Poole) became a popular cult feature and subject of numerous articles in designer magazines as an example of specific modern artistic interior design, showing examples of her work and the styles she had developed through her brands.[18][19]

At the Truly British Event at the London's Harrods Store on 6 May 2005[5] Fuschini's brand "Darlings" was launched and she became acquainted with the Egyptian businessman Mohamed Abdel Moneim Al-Fayed, after which a long and durable friendship developed with the Al-Fayed family.

Gerry Rafferty

Gerry Rafferty with his fiancee Enzina Fuschini, 2009

Enzina Fuschini was engaged to the British rock artist Gerry Rafferty from 2008 up till his death in 2009. She met him during a period when he was reported missing by the international press.

Rafferty had all his life been suffering from chronic drinking, and during a stay in London he had moved from one hotel to another after he had been asked to leave the five-star Westbury Hotel in Mayfair where he had had a four-day drinking session that left his room extensively damaged. The newspaper Scotland on Sunday reported that Rafferty had been asked to leave the hotel and had then checked himself into St Thomas' Hospital suffering from a chronic liver condition, brought on by heavy drinking. The same report claimed that on 1 August 2008, Rafferty had disappeared from the hospital, leaving his belongings behind, and that the hospital had filed a missing persons report [20] Research showed, however, that no such missing persons report had ever existed .[21] Afterwards Rafferty told a journalist from the Sunday Express that he had been living in Florence, Italy, splitting his time between a home in Dorset and visits to Scotland each year .[22]

The reality about this period became known only after Rafferties death. It was during this turbulent times that he met Enzina Fuschini. They fell in love and lived together in Upton, near Poole, first at Enzina's house, later in a hotel and successively they rented a large home together .[23] This was actually correctly cited by The Guardian on the 17 February 2009, which reported that Rafferty was in hiding in the south of England, being cared for by a friend. [24] During 2009, Fuschini physically cared for the singer and tried to help him overcome his alcoholism. They went on holiday together and Rafferty proposed to Fuschini to marry him at the Ritz Hotel in Paris on Christmas Eve 2009 [25] .[26] Shortley afterwards, on the 2nd of September 2010, Enzina's mother died.

In November 2010, Rafferty was admitted to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, where he was put on a life-support machine and treated for multi-organ failure. After being taken off life-support, Rafferty went better and it seemed that he might survive and recover from his collapse. According to Fuschini, she was prevented from being at his bedside[26] [27] [28]. His daughter Marta successively brought him to her house in Stroud, Gloucestershire, without admitting Enzina seeing or contacting him. [29] [30]. He died in Stroud on 4 January 2011 aged 63 of liver failure.

Since Rafferties death, a legal issue is raised over his will which was made in March 2007 before he met Enzina Fuschini, and she has launched a High Court battle for a share of his fortune after she was left out of his £1.2 million will [31] [32] [33].
