Rome may have been the romantic setting for the iconic film from 1960 but the la dolce vita is also evoked by other romantic cities and lakes of Italy. Venice, Florence and Lake Como provide the inspiration for a delightful collection of three colourful printed silk scarves for women featured on BrightByBlack.co.uk.
These prints are from original oil paintings by a contemporary Italian artist of scenes inspired by the classic works of Canaletto and Bellotto.
Life in Venice
The Venice print features the bustle of daily life on the Grand Canal with the famous Doge’s palace in the background.
