It’s been over a year since Kobe Bryant died and with all the pain and trauma his wife Vanessa Bryant has endured since it‘s been nice to see her having fun in Italy. The mom attended the star-studded Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Venice Italy and spent most of her time attending events with her best friend Ciara. Vanessa has shared many photos from her vacation and reflected in the captions about how hard it was going back to Venice, seemingly referencing memories with Kobe. Thankfully she had the help of Ciara and looked happy as she smiled, danced, and looked stunning. The besties have both shared some adorable photos from their trip together, check them out below.

Vanessa shared a video of dancing with Ciara and said it “fed her soul.” “Laughter and dancing feed my soul. It was so hard going back to Venice but I’m glad I did it. ❤️ Andiamo @ciara 🇮🇹 @dolcegabbana,” she wrote in the caption. She echoed the same sentiment in a later set of photos, “I was reluctant to get away but I’m so glad I did it! It was so nice to enjoy life a little bit and not think about everything I have on my plate. This was so good for my soul,” Vanessa wrote.
