My hand-lettering artwork called ""Nane e i so amighi"/ Nane and his friends". In venetic alphabet, in big chatacters there's written "Nane," which in the venetian language has essentially three meanings: a) diminutive of the name Giovanni (along with Nani) b) foolish/stupid c) to sleep. On the top, written in blue there's written "mona," "bauco," and "senpio", words that resonates with "nane" Below there's Nane, the dolphin that roams the Venetian lagoon, while on the bottom left, Nane says to humans: "ti va a far e nane ! / you go to sleep !" To the left of the dolphin there is my signature with the year of creation, the day of creation (February 7th) and my name and surname written in venetic alphabet (Elisa Tonini)

Picture with a sheet dedicated to "Fa el to leon", where I ask people to paint, draw, doodle, letter (and so on) their own winged lion. This challenge is dedicated to the Saint Mark Lions, symbol of Venice and of the Veneti

My version of the Lion of saint Mark called "El me Leon in moeca". "in moeca" ( a venetian word) refers to a winged lion lion seen in front view instead of the walking one. My artwork is created on paper with fine-liner pens and highlighters. In venetic alphabet I've written "Pax tibi Marce evangelista, meus", the traditional phrase

My first-ever #artchallenge called "Fa el to leon" / "Create your own lion." about the winged lion of Saint Mark, symbol of the Venetian people. Portray your lion, with your vision, somehow preserving the "Pax tibi marce evangelista meus."

There is a brief introduction, which states that Giustinian met Napoleon twice. The first in Graz on April 25, 1797, and then again on May 2nd. Giustinian sends greetings to Napoleon on behalf of the Venetian Republic.
