I hope thistle show you how much I love you.
Not a daisy goes by where I don’t think about you.
I never want you to leaf me.
Our tulips should kiss.
Hey bud, how’s it growing?
I really lilac you.
Aloe you vera much.
You’re my best bud!
We’re mint to be.
Life would succ without you.

Short Story
Raphaël: Genius of the Renaissance
Like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Raphael (1483-1520) is regarded as a precocious artist prodigy, whose early death only helped to create a myth.
At a young age, he acquired important notoriety in Northern Italy thanks to his realistic style, characterized by his great gentleness and harmony of shapes and colors. His achievement was completed in 1508, when Pope Julius II asked him to create monumental frescoes to decorate his apartments in the Vatican.
2020 being the anniversary of his death, Raphael is honoured by two major retrospectives. The first, in France, at the Musée de Condé du Domaine de Chantilly and extended until August 30th, displays a large number of his drawings. The second, in Rome, at the Scuderie del Quirinale and open until August 31st, allowing visitors to see his greatest pictorial masterpieces.
On this occasion, art historian Stefano Zuffi published a biography that allows visitors to (re)discover the life of the “prince of painters”, according to Giorgio Vasari. A fascinating biography with the details of his works as guiding thread.
