The Story:
The main theme of this scene are of course, the Neapolitan flavours that are very dear to my heart because of my grandpa. If you don't know the story (that I shared many times on social media), when we were children, and we had ice-cream for dessert at family gatherings, my grandpa used to serve the Neapolitan ice-cream and ask what flavours I wanted. I only liked chocolate, and he knew that, but he'd ask anyway. I'd say "chocolate", and he'd reply that one shouldn't be fussy and have all flavours. So he'd serve me a bit of all three and I always hoped there'd be more of the chocolate, because I would mix all together and it would usually turn into a light brown, or a peculiar mauve. He was a very grumpy man, but also very kind, and I love him just the way he is. Every time I watch "My big fat Greek wedding", Gus Portokalos reminds me of him so much, as well as the rest of the family, as my family was big and loud too, typical of an Italian family.
NOTE:
None of the elements are glued to the display. You can have them loose for you to arrange them in your own way, and change them again whenever you please. You could use it as a stress-relieving game if you wanted. I promise it's really therapeutic! Please select your preference at the checkout. If you select the elements to be glued, they will be glued similarly to the pictures in the listing.
