Day 31 - Sogni d'Oro

In Italy if you want your coffee sweet, you say "zuccherato, per favora!" So I once translated "Sweet dreams!" to my Italian friend, Gabriella, as "Sogni Zuccherato!" She laughed out loud because that literally mean "Sugary dreams!" Instead, she suggested that here in Italy, they say "Sogni d'oro!" which means, "Golden dream!" Hence the title of this photograph. This old man was found sweetly asleep under the precious first rays of the sun that appeared after a long day of gray rain... like a gentile of Renaissance he was asleep in verandas of Villa d'Este, no less!
