For this postcard, I wanted to go with the broader region of Calabria that Maropati is situated in. I loved all the natural elements in the reference photo and wanted to capture that sense of place and landscape.
I also wanted the postcard to feel tactile—like a heavy cotton or linen type paper. To add depth, I imagined how this scene could appear in another season, like autumn. I chose an autumn-colored border using greenery that is a common association with Italy, creating a seasonal shift that adds warmth and richness to the design.
