The Launch of 'The Finer Code'
Giulia Macchia, the innovative founder and creative director behind The Finer Things, has announced the launch of her debut book,
The Finer Code, now available in both digital and print formats worldwide. This exciting release marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of The Finer Things as it transitions into a contemporary cultural house that emphasizes refinement, empowerment, and lasting personal impact.
The Finer Code presents itself as a modern guide to enhancing one’s self-worth and embracing everyday elegance, blending established high society norms with applicable insights. The book not only features lists and real-world advice but also offers a range of topics such as hosting, dining etiquette, engaging conversations, event planning, and nurturing one’s social presence. Moreover, Macchia delves into elements of emotional discipline, self-possession, and the cultivation of an elegant lifestyle as a daily standard. The structure of the book is designed to enhance interpersonal connections and deepen one’s relationship with oneself.
According to Macchia, “The Finer Things is evolving into a cultural house, and this book is the cornerstone of that legacy.” She emphasizes that her teachings focus on refinement rather than mere etiquette. For her, etiquette involves the outer performance, whereas true refinement and essential soft skills form the inner structure that cultivates presence, character, and quiet strength. These qualities distinguish individuals who achieve success while maintaining serenity.
At the core of
The Finer Code lies Macchia's conviction that etiquette serves as a vital developmental tool rather than just a set of rules to follow. In her portrayal, etiquette, comportment, and deportment are indicators of one’s self-worth and reflect a dedication to dignity, emotional balance, and a solid sense of presence. Macchia argues that refinement is transformative—boosting one’s confidence also enhances capability, which, in turn, unlocks pathways to success. While technical skills may help one secure a position, it is the nuanced soft skills that foster lasting relationships where influential decisions are made.
The release of
The Finer Code reinforces The Finer Things' mission to become more than a platform; it aspires to be an emerging cultural hub that elevates standards of refinement and excellence in personal development. Macchia has firmly established herself as an authority on contemporary refinement and empowered etiquette, presenting a relatable model that resonates with daily activities and aspirations.
While this book primarily addresses personal development and social graces, Macchia is also expanding the framework of
The Finer Code to encompass professional applications. An upcoming collection will deliver guidance for luxury services, hospitality sectors, private staff, high-end providers, and diplomatic functions. This initiative aims to extend the principles of refinement into professional arenas that require both poise and presence.
As the launch of
The Finer Code marks just the beginning of an enlightening journey, 2026 promises even more growth for The Finer Things. This cultural institution will soon give birth to The Finer Things International Institute of Etiquette, Charm, and Protocol—a modern finishing school that aims to bring back the essence of mid-century charm schools, focusing on grace, social intelligence, and cultural fluency.
