When someone asks, “What does Italy mean to you?”, a flood of images comes to mind. There are so many things to experience and see in Italy that it makes it difficult to imagine a single image.

This acrylic painting represents me and my thoughts about Italy in a cartoon-like style. The written description in the background provides more detail about my thoughts, in relation to the country’s culture, people and then my own personal connection with my family.
