The water of Lake Garda, as usual when the sky is clear, was emerald green. At a thousand feet, below me, the splendid Venetian fortifications surrounded by canals that make the town almost an island. I performed the usual checks before bringing the engine to idle and \u201cspiraling,\u201d with a smooth and continuous turn, until a meter from the water.<br \/>\nIn this low flight, I wanted to land next to the fortress in the Gulf of Garda, contemplate the scenery, and inhale the air in search of traces of calicanthus, which would confirm the end of winter. However, at the \u201ccrosswind\u201d of Bardolino, I began to notice strange dark spots on the shore that disrupted the familiar harmony. New construction sites? Protective tarps? As I got closer, I could make out the source of the ugliness\u2014it was square-shaped black umbrellas. Fortunately, fifteen days later, they were replaced with more colorful ones.        <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A work born out of a passion for flying, \u201cFlying over Garda\u201d is a graphic work from 2022 but whose sketch can be found in Agenda 1996.
