Last day of the vacation I spent hanging out in the old town Bergamo, packed with quaint shops, restaurants and surprisingly good choice of local beers on offer.  Venetian architectural  influence throughout the town offers an unparalleled experience wandering around the narrow streets. The favourite discovery for me there was Palazzo della Ragione on it’s main square. It’s single room exhibit of Canalettos, Moronis and Tallones with  a medieval staircase leading up to it offers a unique museum going experience.  Here’s a view from one of the side streets, via Gombito,  I quickly sketched in the evening before hopping on the  funicular and to the airport to catch the flight to Stansted.

Another post from my Italian trips.  This winery sits in the middle of ancient Montepulciano town in Tuscany and holds regular tastings in it’s winery. The barrels storage are particularly impressive. A glass of their rich Vino Nobile for dinner is enough to fill me up.

This image dates back to my trip to Italy in 2008.  I spent two beautiful sunny days in Bologna then and this was one of my brightest memories of the place. Fantastic architecture lines the historic streets – arcades, or gallerias of shopping and dining,  unique in it’s aesthetics from what I’ve seen before. One of these hides a gem of gallery: Galleria Forni.  I would love to exhibit there one day.

This is a flashback from my trip to Italy, Montepulciano.  This is a hotel where we stayed, at one of the city’s ancient gates; it was hundreds of years old, with narrow steep steps to the top floor, but the view was worth it. Arriving somewhere in the middle, was this landing with very inviting chairs tempting me to stop for a rest.
