Watercolor illustration of classical porticos – the characteristic colonnades and arcades particularly associated with Bologna, Italy. The long, curved corridors with elegant columns and warm sunlight create a timeless expression of history, culture and leisurely movement through the city. The porticos of Bologna stretch across large parts of the city centre and function both as architectural protection from the sun and rain and as a meeting place for people, reflection and city life. The illustration symbolises knowledge, travel, cultural heritage and the connection between people, ideas and stories – the basis for the name Portico Publish.
