open city
street art by fausto delle chiale
less is more
more cherubs, more marble,
more frescos, more mozzarella buffalo,
more wine, more doric columns, more churches
more heels, more olive oil, more prosciutto,
more patrons painted in the paintings,
more priests dressed in fine suits,
more mafia, more opulence,
more bernini, more fellini,
more beautiful women,
more irony, more sin
more baroque
si si!
confess it all to the priest,
and do it all over again!
new york just sins
but roman's sin better, fuller.
they sin elegantly, with class.
they sin with self respect.
they sin for culture for
happiness for...
la dolce vita
