Stilo, Calabria, Italy

(1) Where am I ?

A 10th Century village I visited in 2019. It has a cathedral and churches, one of which, was first built in the 9th Century. Caves carved into the rock where monks lived. Little alleys, cobbled streets, amazing doors, and the home of the philosopher Tommaso Campanella.

This beautiful town inspired me to paint it.

‘Calabria 2’ (30”x20”)

This painting was completed in 2020. I visited the Calabria region of Italy several times, visiting a friend. I tried to capture the essence of Calabria; the food, the landscape, the architecture and the history.

Such a beautiful region of Italy ❤️
