Why it's vintage

``Italian Vintage Life'' that I purchased the other day.




Italy has the most vintage collectors in the world.
In terms of cars, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
There are Alfa Romeo and Fiat, etc.
Motorcycles include Vespa, Ciao, MV Agusta,
Bicycles include Chinnery etc.
It is also a country that produces many items that are coveted by vintage collectors.
Furthermore, France and Germany are also nearby.
It is one of the most enviable countries where there are many opportunities to come into contact with vintage items.

Not only fashion and gourmet,
Not only do we have everything from art to architecture, but
Its history and culture are also very deep.
When I actually went to Italy, I could almost say that the entire city was history.
A country where you feel the weight of everything you pass.
Once again, I think that Italy is a really nice country.

This book focuses on Italian vintage items and collectors.
If you love vintage, you'll definitely find it interesting.
As I read it, I felt so jealous.

So why has "vintage" been attracting so much attention in recent years?
After all, it is not mass produced,
Or maybe it's not possible.

In the past, there were no production lines like there are today.
That is why tools and machines were not as well established as modern ones.
So even if we wanted to mass produce it, we couldn't.
And if people were to do it manually, they wouldn't be able to do it properly.
Maybe it's because of something like that.

Another point is that each item has a feel of its own era.
The design is tasteful and matches the times.
There is something appealing about the bold design that you don't see today.

After going through all these things, I am where I am now.
After all, this "analog" atmosphere makes you feel that even time passes slowly.
Although modern times have become convenient,
I also feel like there is too much information.
Maybe you could go slower?

There is something called "slow food" in Italian food culture.
Cooking with carefully grown ingredients,
It's meant to be eaten with family and friends while having a conversation.
It's the exact opposite of "fast food" where one person can quickly finish the meal.
You may be able to sense this kind of culture through vintage items.

It's almost August and Japan will celebrate Obon.
We are undecided on what we will do this year due to the coronavirus.
Even when I return home, I don't think I'll be in the mood to go out.
It might be a good idea to spend some time with your family and relatives.

Perhaps the impact of the coronavirus is
“Let’s live our busy days a little more slowly.”
Maybe that's what it means.
