'What Ho! Giotto'

It's like painting with words- What Ho! Giotto is an artist's verbal sketchbook; on life love of Italy and the creation of a garden and studio in Le Marche it's a mid-life tale and fulfillment of a dream of painting and sketching in Italy. A mix of memoir humour and artistic musing and all the fascinating people met along the way; from film stars to royalty. With vivid descriptions that bring the landscape to life like a painting... makes you feel like you want to jump on a plane to Italy! But the tale is not without its trials plagues of flies hornets snakes scorpions a flood and even a lightening strike. And the beloved olive tree is destroyed in a winter storm. But the overall challenge is a success a garden and studio are created in an area of Italy Le Marche where Signorelli had painted five centuries before.
