block from her mother in Eastchester. (Her father passed away last year.)
To relax, Fogliano enjoys working out in her home gym, doing Pilates, and weight training. She also loves curling up with a pile of industry magazines to get inspired with design ideas to discuss with the architects on her projects. “That’s the kind of stuff that relaxes me. It’s usually related to business,” she admits. “I’m so grateful; I wake up every morning loving what I do.”
Fogliano is emphatic when asked what her design sensibilities are. “Mod- ernist, modernist, modernist,” she says. “I don’t believe in going back to the past. We live in 2016.” She has a current out- let for her interior-design passion work- ing on the lobby of The Modern in Mount Vernon. “We’re working to give it a very industrial, cool look,” she says.
Whipping up specialties like roasted chicken, ragù, and homemade chicken soup is another passion of Fogliano’s. “My father taught me to cook,” she says—though she admits that Sergio’s Ristorante in Pelham makes a soup that can compete with her own.
Fogliano is also an avid restaurant buff, according to Rita Wyatt, a financial consultant at Wyatt & Co in Armonk, who has worked with Fogliano for 20 years and considers her a good friend. When the two women and their husbands dine out together, Fogliano always picks the restaurant.
“I say to her, ‘Make reservations, and tell me where we’re going,’” says Wyatt. “She loves to take the lead. She’s always reading magazines and finding new res- taurants she wants to try.”
Another passion for Fogliano is the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, a New York City- based nonprofit that does workforce development. She is a governor at the organization, which runs a tuition-free trade school for 400 students. “I feel good about giving back to a nonprofit,” she says.
Like many of the important things in her life, Fogliano learned about the need to give back from her father. “It’s funny how life is one big loop,” she says.
