Verona, Italy

An eclectic Italian banquet overlooking the city of Verona.  Prepared no doubt for a contemporary Romeo and Juliet.  A sampling of southern cuisine can be glimpsed on the table, along with a Neapolitan coffeemaker.  Is the artist sending a message on this 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy?

Acrylic, 16″ by 12″, unframed.  This painting was used as the cover of Timothy Holmes’ detective novel set in Italy, “The Neapolitan Streak”
