Mediterranean diet

The skin of Italian dark-tanned women contradicts the theory that the sun is harmful, and that the salty sea water damages the hair. Mini skirts and the elegance of an evening pass, in which the creations from the latest Valentino collection are mixed with fabulously colorful, patterned dresses from India Shop, bring to mind the Fairy Tales from 1001 Nights. Multi-Use, Less Waste and Organic Food - new, commercially attractive philosophies for Millennials, this is nothing more than a recipe for a simple life of the inhabitants of the islands south of Sicily.

Tiny islands away from tourist routes are teeming with local rhythm, winding streets climbing over a steep cliff travel with monkey dexterity Citronens 4ki and scooters with half-naked heroes without a helmet. Thick plasters of the façades painted white, or on the contrary - fabulously colored, picturesquely faded from the sun, stick out now and again on volcanic slopes accompanied by massive prickly pears and blooming agave trees. The squat blocks of buildings with the obligatory Patio based on simple columns and a roof made of bamboo sticks interwoven with grape leaves cast rhythmic shadows. The colorful patterns of the terracotta floors refer to the ceramic jugs and plates that Picasso would not be ashamed of. Antiquities and local handicrafts intertwined in a timeless mosaic of art, in which there is no past or future, but only the present, seduces with its natural character, although it defies all classifications.

The coexistence of various motifs, random combinations of old furniture and knick-knacks, no longer needed in city residences, create a unique atmosphere of BoHo, in which it is difficult to find an artistic theme or order. The heat and the local atmosphere enforce the ease and freedom, with a concrete path on which you walk to the poorly supplied Allimentari, hidden behind an airy curtain made of colorful plastic stripes, popular in the 80s.

The grace and nonchalance of this world enchants with siren singing, tempts to abandon organized, disciplined everyday life for Dolce Far Niente.
