And so are the emerald lenses Roman Emperor Nero was said to have worn when watching endless gladiator fights.\u00a0 For the first real pair of sunnies, though, we have to wait until the 1700s and the creations of the glassmakers from Murano (where prescription lenses had already been invented): \u201cGoldoni\u201d or \u201cgondola glasses\u201d were elegant glasses with green lenses and side bands used to protect the eyes of the ladies from the air, wind and splashes of water during gondola rides.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row padding--new-big wrapperContent\">\n    <div class=\"articleOnlyImage\">\n        <div class=\"articleOnlyImage__image\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"articleOnlyImage__img\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marcolin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2-7.jpg\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row padding--new-big wrapperContent\">\n    <div class=\"articleContent j-articleContent\">\n                <h2 class=\"articleContent__title\">\n            <span class=\"articleContent__titleUnderline j-titleUnderlineAnimation\">\n            The turning point of the 1900s             <\/span>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div class=\"articleContent__richtext\">\n            <p>The golden age of sunglasses is undoubtedly the Twentieth Century.\u00a0 It all started in the 1920s, when US Army Air Corps Lieutenant John Macready \u2013 who had returned from a balloon flight complaining that the sun had permanently damaged his eyes \u2013 commissioned an American company to design sunglasses for air force pilots. The first \u201caviator\u201d designs were born: they soon enjoyed such great success that, in the 1930s, they were no longer produced only for the armed forces, they were donned by the public at large; it\u2019s the beginning of the history of a useful accessory that turned into a glamorous fashion icon. They say, in fact, that since the 1930s, sunglasses became so popular that they replaced what hats had represented until then: a must-have fashion accessory.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n

contribution came from eccentric figures, such as Peggy Guggenheim (with her celebrated golden frame recalling the shape of butterfly wings), and Hollywood celebrities.\u00a0 Like Audrey Hepburn who, in <em>Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s<\/em>, turned the Manhattan frame into an icon of style, while Stanley Kubrick \u2013 also thanks to the shots of the great fashion photographer Bert Stern \u2013 added a mischievous and seductive allure to the heart-shaped sunglasses donned by his <em>Lolita<\/em>.\u00a0 But what about men?\u00a0 Sunglasses have been a men\u2019s wardrobe staple since 1953, like the design worn in 1980 by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in <em>The Blues Brothers.\u00a0 <\/em>The 1990s, instead, marked a turning point in style with the minimalist version worn by Keanu Reeves in <em>Matrix<\/em>: but, at this point, sunglasses had already taken on a new significance.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row padding--new-big wrapperContent\">\n
