BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC MOVIES FROM THE 1950s /60s

 


Hi everyone, today I’d like to invite you to a journey back in time and tell you about my top 5 best favourite classic movies from the 50s/60s. Do you ever watch old movies? I love them!

 LITTLE WOMEN

It is based on the book of the same title by 19th century American writer, Louisa May Alcott. There have been many adaptations of her novel, the oldest dates back to 1933 and the most recent was released in 2019. My favourite version is the 1949 film.

STREET ART


How did it start?

Street art was born around the 70s in the suburbs of New York. But only around 2000, there is a real diffusion. It was born as a sign of protest and revolt. In the early years street art was seen as an expression of vandalism, but today it is considered real form of art, though always in the background if compared to traditional art. St
reet art shouldn’t be confused with graffiti, which are a separate category.

TATTOOS

 


 

Tattoos have always accompanied the history of man, it’s an ancient practice dating back to over 5,000 years. Today making a tattoo is our choice, but not in ancient times.

Do you know the origin of tattoos?

James Cook’s first voyage was an expedition, in which he stopped to visit Tahiti. There he knew a technique unknown to him until that moment, that was to be tattooed. This technique was called tatau,(it means to beat, because it reminded the noise produced by the needle piercing the skin), from which we got tattoo.

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR FREE TIME?

 


 


How do you spend your free time?

Having free time is very important because in those moments you focus on yourself. I understood that in our life even in the most challenging or complicated moments, we have to take some time for ourselves. Even when it isn’t the best moment,  it’s right to unplug, recover from our hectic everyday life.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

 

 

 

 

As young people, we are often asked the question: what would you like to be? Actually, we started being asked since we were children. In childhood we reacted thinking about our dream job and figuring out  the most unlikely future careers. But, growing up, things change and you start seriously wondering about your future and about your place in this world.
