Dolce Far Niente
noun: pleasant idleness
The phrase 'dolce far niente' is an Italian saying meaning 'sweet doing nothing.'
It's all about pleasant, playful, carefree and restful leisure, something our modern world sadly seems to not treasure with all the distractions we have now a days.

This is a mantra for those who like to savor the moment and get absorbed in the enjoying the little pleasure of life. I can certainly relate :)
Enjoy this collection of artworks by John William Waterhouse which beautifully portray 'Dolce Far Niente'.
