Translation

Vladimir and Nuvola are the two new stars of central Rome: Vladimir is a 44-year-old Russian musician, and Nuvola is a 2-year-old white rabbit.

Together, they perform on the streets of the capital and attract the attention of all passers-by with their tenderness.

While the man plays the guitar, Nuvola stays still on his shoulders, receiving photos and pets from people. And hopefully, also some money.
