Passeggiata

This drawing of the Italian tradition of “La Passeggiata”, a leisurely stroll taken in the evening, is the thought-provoking example of the concept of “in tandem.” Couples have organized themselves into pairs with the women visiting in front and the men walking respectfully behind them. As the pairs walk along the promenade, even the trees appear to be working in tandem.
