The Pirelli Calendar, known and trade-marked as "The Cal", is an annual trade calendar which has been published by the UK subsidiary of the Italian tyre manufacturing company Pirelli since 1964. The calendar has a reputation for its choice of photographers and models and featured glamour photography from the 1980s until the 2010s.

Mario Testino was invited to shoot the legendary Pirelli Calendar for 2001 following a roster of celebrated photographers. Shot in and around Naples, Testino assembled a cast of beautiful protagonists to star in his edition of the iconic “Cal”. Gisele Bündchen, Aurelie Claudel, Karen Elson, Rhea Durham, Mariana Weickert, Fernanda Tavares, Angela Lindvall, Ana Claudia Michels, Liisa Winkler, Noémie Lenoir, Frankie Rayder and Carmen Kass are the year’s pin-ups.
