Pirelli is an Italian company. It makes tires for cars. Pirelli also makes a calendar every year. There are photographs of famous people in the calendar. For example, there are models and actors.

The first calendar comes from the year 1964. Since that time, 37 photographers take the photos. The calendars are full of models who wear little clothing. Now, he photographs are more artistic.

Bryan Adams is a Canadian singer. He is a photographer, too. He takes photos for Pirelli’s calendar this year. Iggy Pop, Cher, Rita Ora, and other artists are in the calendar.
Adams comes to Italy last week. He tests positive for COVID-19. For that reason, he introduces the calendar virtually.

Difficult words: tire(a thick rubber ring which is full of air, and it makes a car go), artistic (work by an artist that is very nice, usually a painting, drawing, or other things), virtually (on the internet).
