There is a patriotic mood in the summer flower-beds in Milan.A proud Italian mind has arranged them with white and red impatiens, the glass flowers or fiori di vetro, in Italian. A cunning 
mind too, that knew he could confide in the small and discreet leaves of this flower for the green of the Italian flag. Today, in the appropriate conditions of hot, half-shade, humidity and indifference, the white and red flowers swell and whip in soft masses, where not a single petal is spoiled or tired.

At nine o'clock in the evening, he waits for the dinner, standing on a terrace, in front of a smooth sea, with a glass of white wine, white linen trousers and the nose burned by the excess of sun.
