Beautiful view, oil on canvas (within a contemporary wooden frame), a bird's-eye view of one of the most characteristic ancient corners of Bologna, Piazza San Francesco. The skilled painter portrays the square from life, recreating typical atmospheres pertinent to the best Venetian view artists (Canaletto, Bernardo Bellotto, Guardi, etc.). A curious detail: the artist portrays the figures depicted dressed in typically nineteenth-century clothes, despite dating the work to his time, i.e., 1930.
Emilia-Romagna, 1930
