"The fastest way to find yourself is to go around the world once!" Isabella calls out to me on the beach in Rimini. She rushes past me on her way to the Ferris wheel, which has belonged to her family for three generations. I run after her, magically drawn by the nervous zest for life she spreads everywhere, but can barely keep up. She throws her arms around her father Bernardo and kisses him on the nose goodbye, and before anyone can figure out what is actually happening, she has already jumped onto the Ferris wheel and ridden all the way to the top in a gondola. "I bought 25 packs of bubblegum! I want to blow the biggest bubble in the world and then bye-bye, boring beach life!" and no sooner has she said it than she has climbed onto a giant bubble and vanished high into the air. "Ciao!" I call out and wave... this wonderfully crazy woman, what adventures will she have? "Come back safe and please come back in one piece!"

You will find out what happens next with Isabella and all she experiences on her crazy journey around the world in 8 hours on the single "BUBBLEGUM" by ISABELLA on Italic Recordings!
