PPP Panettone Pinguino Pao!

If you live in Italy (especially in Milan) you may be familiar with Pao, the cute penguin created by artist Paolo Bordino. Last year I posted a few photos about a Milan Christmas tram decorated by Paolo with the penguin Pao for Motta, and the other day I saw this great image on Paolo's FB wall, and I asked him to use it: a panettone iced like Pao! The author is Tiziana Amitrano.

Thank you Tiziana and Paolo for letting me use the image, and Merry Xmas Pao!!!

PS
PPP is just because yesterday's post was a TTT...

A Christmas Tram to colour Milan

Per le strade di Milano gira un tram morbido morbido, disegnato da Pao.

My second Christmas post is dedicated to my birth city, Milan. I was born there by chance, and left too young to think of it as my own city, but I do visit often, and my brother lives there, so it is a special place for me.

I was going to write something completely different today, and then I saw some great pics on FB. My friend Pao has painted this tram for Motta (they make panettone), if you live in Milan maybe you have seen it!

I love Pao's penguins, these look like the three wise penguins bringing Panettone.

I remember when graffiti artists had to work quickly and dangerously to colour Milan's grey walls and dirty train carriages, and now they are finally given space :-), and credit!

Hahahaha, robber penguins!

And the Duomo!

Look inside! The walls are soft panettone... I wander if they could also add the fragrance! Better catch this tram after, and not before, breakfast! Wait that I show these photos to my kids! They would go "Ohhhh!!! I so much want to ride on Pao's tram!!"
