Don’t forget to look up!’ Simple yet valuable advice that most of us smart phone users could do with remembering. Other than saving us from potential danger, looking up reveals the colors of life, above all in Italy… how many of you have discovered the beauty in hanging clothes or airing bedding. A common sight throughout Italy, hanging clothes on lines that stretch across the streets of villages, towns and even cities is commonplace.
