Until some time ago, the Italians before going on holiday chose wisely the activities that would have done during the days at sea. So, while the women opted for Harmony-style deep and heartbreaking love stories, the men, in cahoots with their neighbors, were busy with the completion of horizontal and vertical lines. The happy endings and the ladies’ books on one hand, Bartezzaghi or Brighenti’s crosswords and the rebus on the other lightened the load and gladdened the beach life, while having a look hither and thither at the sportsman or at the beautiful foreign girl and sipping a drink.
If creams, sunglasses and swimsuits went straight in the suitcase with the books and the puzzles magazine, with the arrival of smartphones and tablets the read and the game went behind a touch screen. The relaxation on the beach chairs was then catapulted into the virtual reality so as to incite our beautiful coast beaches to provide with wi-fi allowing the vacationers to stay, even on the shore, connected to Internet.
