The art of hanging wash in Venice
In Venice you can not avoid looking at people’s wash. Some hang out all their clothes and some are more restrictive. But isn’t an art? I think people tend to wear clothes in colors that fit with their building’s colors… While in Venice I found the book “The Politics Of Washing – Real life in Venice”. It […]
