Trudie Styler tells us why capturing Naples on film was a labour of love – and how she ended up with a Sting in the tale

Wandering the labyrinthine back streets of Naples, taking in its faded elegance and dark romance, Trudie Styler adds a touch of celebrity glamour to the Italian city that is the subject of her most recent film.

She’s usually to be found in a more rural setting: the 900-acre winemaking estate in Tuscany that she shares with Sting, her husband of over 30 years, and where the A-list couple celebrate their wedding anniversary every year.

Hers is an enviable lifestyle – her Instagram is filled with global travel and lavish social events and dinners with celebrity friends, from former model Iman to director Guy Ritchie (she is godmother to Rocco, his 24-year-old son with Madonna), as well as hosting star-studded parties at her New York residence.

But she is so much more than just Mrs Sting. A former actress who performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Trudie, now 71, has over the past 20 years enjoyed an impressive career as a film-maker.
