The story behind the image
Here’s a fun shot from the archive: an Italian slush machine with transparent tanks offers three flavors in the colors of the Italian national flag. While I am not a big fan of slushy drinks, I think they are as Italian as it can get. Many restaurants and cafés offer these sweet, cool, and soft, drinks. It just belongs to Italy like Fiat and Cappuccino.
Today Italy celebrates its national day Festa della Repubblica which reminds the foundation of the Italian Republic in 1946. So I think it’s OK to show an iconic Italian machine with properly filled tanks. 🙂
