I was awe-struck as I stood on one edge of Piazze del Campo. I often heard people describe it as the loveliest or the finest square in Europe, but until I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't really believe it.
On a sizzling hot summer day, you may feel like a pizza in the oven walking in the sunny red-brick square. But when the beautiful medieval buildings start casting shadows and cooling the bricks, you will see small groups of people here and there actually sitting on the ground as if they were on the beach or in the grassy park.
In an attempt to best depict the grandeur and a sense of place, I made three paintnigs of this piazza that I also think one of the finest.
