Piazza dItalia (square of Italy)

• The painting seems geometrical, the sky is dark
  and painted with unreal colours green and
  yellow. The perspective is respected. This
  painting represents a square but it is not
  crowded, there are only two people. The statue
  representing a lying woman, reminds the mountains
  on the background. Maybe its the sunset and its
  warm and windy. It suggests quietness and
  loneliness.

  feeling melancoly.

  is set in the lit up side.
