PORTRAIT OF ITALY
 

A Portrait of Italy Imagine the opportunity to create your own portrait of Italy. You begin your portrait with olive groves, vineyards, and scenic panoramas. In the foreground you might add villages where buildings, centuries old, yearn to tell their story.  In the center of your creation, you may complete the picture with fine dining and sipping wines unique to Italy. In each scene you will find the gracious Italian people waiting to host you and share their homeland. Yes, draw your portrait of those quaint, characteristic and charming places so often overlooked by the modern traveler. view of Siena, Italy
