“Siesta” by Lorenzo Mattotti

“I like to be here in Tuscany with Rina and Pulce,” says the Italian artist Lorenzo Mattotti, referring to his wife and their dog. Mattotti, who lives in Paris the rest of the year, continues, “Here in the country, we don’t see other houses around us—there aren’t really any. We’re on a hill and we see the sea in the distance. It’s a place where I like to pass the whole summer, a place where I can relax but also work. I don’t like to do nothing.”
