SS06 Cortona, Italy

Drawing completed on location September 2011, with Novacks Avid Traveller -Artists in Italy. First portion of our trip we stayed in Cortona, a Tuscan hill town. Walking here you could not get lost, you were either walking up hill or downhill. This drawing is near the Plaza Mazzini entrance to the walled city, with vines growing over and thru the wall and one small clothesline hanging from window.

Believe it or not, Cortona, was a well-known Umbrian hill town before Frances Mayes wrote about renovating her house, “Casa Bramasole”, near here. (Under a Tuscan Sun). Cortona is a small but fascinating city in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany, central Italy, situated on a commanding hill, and overlooking Lake Trasimeno. Its cyclopean walls reveal its Etruscan origins.
