And she could be a passionate lover.
The title should be “Women of Italy” and these Torinese ladies just represent the whole of the Italian femaledom.

I arrived in Torino completely amazed by the sight of the 3-colours of the Italian flag represented in various forms and shapes. They are seen displayed in almost all of the shops, on building facades and as street decorations. I later discovered that this city played a big part in the Italian reunification 150 years ago when it was made the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy and Victor Emmanuel II as the first king proclaimed on 17 March 1861. So for a total of nine months from March to November, 2011, Torino will play host to a non-stop calendar of art, design, fashion, music, gastronomy and various festivals during Esperienza Italia.
The red, white and green colours are practically everywhere and I tried to capture them all but then realized there were just too many!
Eau de toilette: Green from Panama, White from the Indian Ocean and Red from Tibet
Savon de Marseille (soap from Marseilles, France)
(ooopppsss…..but that is light green!)
To pay tribute to Italy’s 150th reunification celebration, Lavazza is coming out with a limited edition collection of cups, chocolates, etc. It is in Torino that this 116-year old coffee legend started its roots.
Even a dressmaker’s shop found a way to create the tri-colour
Those lines are just done in paint!
