Smartphones? Or not?

young girl catched in the waiting room of the dance school. So concentrated on  her mother's smartphone. Will our children become more smart?

mangiare e bere - trattorie italiane # 1 - all'Anfora

trattorie  italiane #1 - All'Anfora- Padova
The first drawing of a series on the italian 'Trattorie'.
I try to catch the spirit and the taste of the 'family' cooking. L'Anfora is an historical place in Padova, it has recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. It sits just behind Piazza delle Erbe, near the Ghetto, in the heart of the ancient city. People behind the counter and waiters are friendly as the food and wine they serve. Alberto runs it in a very offhand way, you often see him with a glass in his hand talking to his friends/customers.
People of the neighbouring shops go there every day for lunch and often gather around a big table as if they were inthe family dining room. You feel at home and the menu is made up mainly of local dishes.
