Gatsby 20s Illegal Party at Rivalta Cafè in Florence.
For a few hours, back to the roaring twenties!
"And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of
Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of
Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dreams
must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did

Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong age?
Since the movie has been released, everyone has been falling in love with Gatsby and the Roaring Twenties.
Truth is that only a few people actually know what "The Great Gatsby" is about.
F. S. Fitzgerald managed to describe how our current society would look like..
A cahos of excess, vice, powerful dreams and hope.
"The Great Gatsby" is about hope.
About our very hopes and illusions.
About the elegance we lost.
