#40 August:the art of relaxing or relaxing with art

Films and series: for those who want to let themselves be moved

The residence, Netflix,

Detective Cordelia Cupp observes people as if they were rare birds. With an ironic gaze and an unusual method, she investigates a murder at the White House. For those who enjoy lighthearted mysteries, this offers a post-modern echo of Agatha Christie.

Fragments of a Life Loved, Chloé Barreau, documentary film

A delicate and powerful reflection on relationships and memories. For those who feel that we are also the people we have known, loved, and let go.

What dreams may come

A visionary and heartbreaking film that explores the afterlife, pain, love, and the possibility of finding one another even after death. The landscapes are painted—literally: the afterlife is a living canvas that shifts with emotion. It’s a story that brings to life the idea that love, when it is deep, can cross any boundary, even the one between life and death.

Songs: for those who know that music is a balm

Weightless, Marconi Union

Defined as “the most relaxing song in the world” by an international study. For those who need to switch off stress and let themselves be carried by sound waves.

Bottiglie vuote, Pinguini Tattici Nucleari

A song about love that ends, but without epic drama. Just scattered objects, words that no longer matter, absences that make noise in the everyday. For those who know that real breakups are measured in the silence of things left unfinished.

Soli, Marracash

A sharp reflection on contemporary loneliness. In a hyper-connected world, where we are always visible but almost never truly seen, Marracash portrays a society made of individuals who are alone even when they’re online. “There are lonely men… in prisons, in cars, lonely on the web.” For those who know that real connection begins, above all, with a gaze that recognizes us.

Sculptures immersed in nature, in a continuous dialogue between art and landscape. For those seeking an experience that blends contemplation and wonder.

A place where color becomes language and time expands. For those who want to feel contemporary with everything — including themselves.

Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, Val d’Orcia

One of the most iconic views in Italy. For those who need silence, light, and horizon.
