They call San Gimignano the City of the Beautiful Towers rich in History, Art & Culture surrounded by the spectacular Tuscan countryside in Italy.
From a distance it looks like a mini Manhattan with its 14 towers gracing the Tuscan skyline. Apparently it did boast 72 towers, built by the Patrician families who controlled the town. The bigger the tower, the greater your wealth. I painted a watercolour by the well in Piazza della Cisterna whilst Susan went off to buy some wild boar salami. Even though it was February, it was bright, warm and sunny, ideal conditions for painting “en plein air”.
After lunch I spent the afternoon wandering about gathering further reference to do a studio painting. This was then added to my Italian Collection of Limited Edition Prints by Alan Reed.
