Day 2: TASK NO. 5: “AMORE E LUSSURIA” - "LOVE & LUST"
Theme: Amore e Lussuria (Love and Lust)
Kind of work: Handtied bouquet with 1 binding point

Requirements: Competitors must use 60 stems of roses in the design. 1 person alone should be able to transport the bouquet. Competitors will be able to choose a maximum of 5 rose varieties beforehand.
Shape/size: The shape is free.
The structure that highlights the bouquet is very rough representing the image that the italian man shows to the world, the red-burgundy garden roses express the passion inside him and the few pink garden roses are his true emotions,the love that he carries in his heart.

ess, Miranda, Keira – all garden roses

It is hard to answer to this – if someone tells you something that starts: “The Italian women…” you instantly think of her. Maybe : ” Per Marchesa di Licata Scicolone Murillo “
