Ritrattista di Piazza Navona

Everyone gets a sketch done in this famous city square of Rome. The whole place, that follows the form of the open space of the stadium, is filled with artists and street vendors.  The piazza provides a continuous festival of painters, caricaturists, fortune-teller and buskers, who entertain visitors until the small hours. This picture expresses the Italian spirit as George Bernard Shaw said in words: “Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.”
