This is a sneak preview of a 2009 calendar commissioned from superstar photographer Annie Leibovitz by the [Lavazza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-coffee-blend) coffee company. The Roman theme is played up with iconic Italian monuments which are artfully reconsidered.

It was shot in a studio, yet its photos include outdoor imagery like a kiss on a [Roman bridge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romeo-hotel-roma), a man rolling about in a coffee cup at Hadrian’s Villa and a Botticelli-esque model rising from the waters of the Trevi Fountain, of course with an [espresso cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-cupola) in her hand.
