You’re in Milan, watching the rain pour down from your living room window, wondering what to do on days like this. It’s been raining for days, and outdoor activities are impossible; you’ve finished your work, your friends are all busy, and Netflix seems to have run out of interesting options. You’re longing for a creative, different experience. Scrolling through social media, you come across an ad for an Art and Wine evening: an artistic aperitif? You’re intrigued and buy a ticket for that evening’s event.

When you enter the restaurant, you find yourself faced with a long table decorated with fresh, colorful flowers, set with easels, canvases, palettes, and brushes. A red rose peeks from the neck of a wine bottle. Someone is already seated, engrossed in conversation, and someone else arrives just after you. You’re welcomed and invited to don a wine-colored apron, and from that moment on, for this evening, you’re a painter.

Glasses are filled as you watch the creativity blossom around you: everyone is creating something unique, a personal work of art. Participants are in groups, in pairs, and some are even alone, just like you. You think, next time, you’d like to bring along that friend of yours who loves painting, and that friend who has a weakness for wine.

You begin chatting with the two women in front of you, who have made creative tasting a ritual: every month they treat themselves to a special evening to strengthen and celebrate their friendship.

The boy to your left, on the other hand, laughs: he’s never picked up a paintbrush before; painting isn’t really his thing; but he’s having fun, and thanks to the guidance and wise advice of his teacher, his painting, too, becomes a masterpiece.

At the end of the evening, you check your phone—which you’d completely forgotten about. Two hours have already passed, yet they’ve flown by, and you’d like to continue. Your canvas, however, is complete, and you’ve just emptied your second glass. Slightly tipsy, you admire your composition with satisfaction, already picturing it hanging in your living room, on that white wall right next to the rainy window: a little color will brighten these gray days.
