/ ART, RETIREMENT, CIVITELLA

Via di Civitella Licinio

A good friend of mine invited me down to his family home in Italy, where I got to do some au plein air painting. This is one of a few streets leading to the square his house is on.

The idea was to write letters on the back of artwork, kind of like postcards, but I found out that it’s very difficult to send mail from his town. The post office is only open two days a week, and it doesn’t sell stamps! I eventually posted the letters from Naples before we caught the train home.
