Buon Giorno a tutti, this is Miss Marisa from sunny and fresh spring -primavera- in Rome.

Coming back to my post: The medium is the message is a phrase as you know, not mine -unfortunately- but coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. In this series of post we’re going to look for new messages taken to us through all media.
