The Acqua Alta themes are about historic textile workshops. About seaweed on the steps of the embankments. About mussels clinging to the mooring ropes of the island of Torcello. Points of memory about Venice that turned this city into the most desirable for me.
Perhaps this is the most romantic design I have created.
One design — red seaweed from the "Album of Seaweed Pictures".
