To represent Italy I have chosen the “putto” or cherub, from Roman and Renaissance art which usually meant angelic forces or love… He is holding grapes, signifying wine or enjoyment. The repeating tile pattern also contains grapes, the Roman acanthus leaf element, and architectural elements reminiscent of the Roman arch.
