The scenery of Garfargnana. Plenty to paint, see and do.

On the second last day of the tour, you have the option of displaying your artwork for the Italian community to see. They are usually fascinated and impressed by the way the artists depict their local area.

Walking along the hills of Palagano and Savoniero, we were lucky enough to discover the red poppies scattered around.

Winter in Palagano

April 11, 2012   Marina

Well, winter came with gusto in the Appenines. Residents of Palagano and Savoniero were amazed by the beauty of the heavy snowfall that had surrounded their village. Along with the beautiful white scenery, came the endless days of not being able to move from their village. It had snowed so heavily that schools and workplaces were shut. No one could get in or out of the village. It was the first time in a very very very long time, the residents had seen it snow. Well, there was only one thing to do – go skiing and create snow angels!

Some pictures of the amazing site are below:
