Piccioni alla Fontanella

Inspired by a sunny day in Firenze ✨

A quiet moment in Florence that stayed with me.
While wandering the streets, I snapped this photo of pigeons gathering around a classic public fountain, sipping from the steady drip under the city’s iconic red fleur-de-lis.
Back home in my studio, I turned it into this small painting—softening the bright midday sun into that golden Tuscan glow I remember so fondly.
There’s something peaceful about watching these everyday birds share such a simple resource in the heart of such historic beauty.
