Le Scale
The town is still asleep. Only the cat keeps watch on the stone stairs.



Summers in Italy never really left us.
One day in Taormina, from the first shade on the stone stairs to the light on the sheets. Nine moments, one dream we did not want to wake up from.
The town is still asleep. Only the cat keeps watch on the stone stairs.

Eyes closed, head tilted – the pose of Il Silenzio, the grandfather’s painting, come back to life above the sea.

Espresso on the stove, tomatoes on the sill, someone laughing in the next room.

Scopa until the light goes. Carte. Musica. Notti lunghe.

Blue hour. The town lights up, one window at a time.

Mastroeni is not inspired by Italy.
It comes from it.
One last look in the mirror. A mark that stays on the collar.

Leather, smoke, heat, movement. Nobody is looking at the clock.

The music gets louder. The night refuses to end.

The morning after. The dream is still in the sheets.



The campaign began on a wall at home: a painting by the founder’s grandfather, a figure leaning into silence in stone blue and faded rose. Her posture became the first image of Perso nel sogno.
