Delicatessens Castiglione del Lago

Castiglione del Lago, in Umbria, Italy, is a large, picturesque, town that sits on the shores of Lago Trasimeno, the largest lake in Central Umbria. The town has a fortress looking out over the lake. It also boasts a ferry terminal where passengers can go over to visit the islands or towns on the opposite shore like Passignano sul Trasimeno.

Castiglione del Lago is very popular with tourists and Italians alike. Buzzing with tourists in the summer, the various delicatessens that line the main street are a big attraction. In this image we see a view along a row of those delicatessens. Delicatessens line the road on both sides and you can taste the local pecorino (sheep) cheese, ham and sausages before buying them. They also sell local olive oil, brightly colored pasta, wine and items made out of olive wood. Some of them offer meals, large platters of local meats and cheese served with local wine.

Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.

An artist and blogger, I specialize in photo art and acrylic painting. For my photo art, I start with my own photographs and work on them digitally to capture the feeling I want to convey with the final image. For my abstract work, I literally 'go with the flow' and follow where my heart wants to take me as I work.

I create art to make your heart smile, capturing the spirit of place in towns and villages, or creating art to enhance the energy of your home or workplace. Take your time to look through my portfolio, I hope you enjoy it.
