“It’s like you’re eating under a canopy of lemons,” said Carlos Franqui, describing the outdoor courtyard that he yearns for and normally visits every year. It's part of his favorite restaurant on the island of Capri, Da Paolino.

This summer, Carlos was unable to visit Italy, so he used memories from the Amalfi Coast to transform the entrances and open-air dining areas of Italian restaurants into the enchanting places that he missed. The founder of Floratorium calls these installations, “floral storefronts,” and some draw thousands of people, both in person and on Instagram.
