Dolce far niente (Weekend Street/Reflections # 88)


 Venice, Italy

Soaking up some winter sunshine before he speeds away in his Riva Aquarama boat. 

Riva's slogan - “Sun, sea, joy of living!"

Dolce far niente is an Italian phrase that directly translates to sweet doing nothing.”

Definition: “pleasant relaxation in carefree idleness”

Have a good weekend!
