Picturesque landscapes with flourishing sceneries, tranquil little towns with ancient flair next to big cities filled with historic and timeless atmospheres, the coastline along the most beautiful sceneries. Vitality. Culinary delights. Romance. “La Dolce Vita”, meaning to literally live “the sweet life”. All this and way more makes Italy one of the most beloved travel-destinations – and justifiably so. Its rich culture is full of diverse offers which makes it pretty much the perfect country to go on holiday to for everyone, because there is a perfect holiday or travel experience for everyone. Especially those, who appreciate aesthetically pleasing, creative, inspirational environments – Italy is the ideal destination for every art lover!

Whether you prefer the sea, the mountains, the forest, the city… Italy offers all that at once. Imagine being able to capture the beauty and the Italian spirit in your very own artwork. How about a plein-air-painting in the Tuscan region? Tuscany is full of various flourishing sceneries. Just think of its wide landscapes made of picturesque views of quaint hills full of olive trees, pines, cypresses and grapevines, where there are shadowy pine forests as well as the beach and the sea. Its literal picture-perfection seems as if it is asking to be painted – just paint it!

Another lovely destination is, for instance, Umbria. Each region of Italy has either a coastline or a border to other countries - except one: The region of Umbria. It is located in the heart of Italy and its hilly landscape is covered with mountains. Besides, the river Tiber runs through the land, leaving fertile ground behind. Altogether, Umbria provides perfect opportunities for beautiful paintings of capture-worthy, memorable sceneries!
