Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas greetings from Venice, the Gateway to the East, celebrating the meeting place of ALL peoples and cultures. Artwork: “L'albero della vita” (1947)

Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas🎄!

Venice has always been the gateway to the East.
Since the very beginning, as daughter of the Byzantium, and keeper of the keys of the gorgeous riches of the Silk Road, Venice always embraced the unknown.
In 1947, Giulio Nardi created “L’albero della vita” for his wife, to celebrate Venice as a meeting place of ALL peoples and cultures.

Actual wars mean that stupidity by humans continues.
Recapitulating with 65, my work for mutual understanding and peace was in vain.
