Inspired by the Italian happy hour lifestyle Passeggiata leads us o a new golden moment with our beloved frieds. The drawing represents the joy and lightheartedness associated with a moment of leisure time in the city. Rome and its monuments are the backdrop for this imaginary walk in which multiple activities of leisure and sharing take place : a chat maong friends, a toast together, the view of the ccity and the energy that pervades it. This imaginary promenade is the protagonist of the print : at the base of the design the path winds winding, recalling the bend of the Tiber river, and then becomes in a more abstract graphic pattern, almost like the feeling one gets from beeing enveloped by the city and getting lost among the streets. Among the patterns taken from Roman marbles and mosaics are the most famous architectures : the Colosseum, the dome of Saint Peter's, the angel of Castel S. Angelo, the Pantheon & of course, the facade of the Bulgari store on Via dei Condotti ! Another protagnist is time, rather the idea of leisure time. A series of hourglasses suspedned in the clouds evokes a feeling of freedom and fills the central parts of the design.
