Sorrento Peninsula: Fresco Painting & Aperitivo seaview – Sorrento, Italy

EXPERIENCE

Learn the art of fresco painting, in the unique setting of Villa De Rossi, a palace from 1800s located in VIco Equense, the heart of the Sorrento coast.
Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples, while tasting an Aperitivo offered by the host.

Have fun painting with the technique used in Italy since ancient Roman times and flourished again in the Renaissance.

Relax and discover that mixing colors and kneading sand and lime, typical of fresco painting, can offer a therapeutic and liberating experience, which will give you a moment of escape from daily stress for a few hours of creativity alone.

During the course you will be guided step by step by Aerma Polani, a passionate artist who loves to share her art.

You will learn in detail the same process used two thousand years ago in Pompeii and Herculaneum and you will be able to create a real fresco yourself, on a small, easily transportable support.

At the end of the course you will be able to take your creation home with you as a splendid souvenir of this wonderful experience.

Our session begins with a visit to the studio of artist Aerma Polani and a brief discussion of the fresco technique used in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Then we will visit the artist’s private residence, with its painted ceilings and magnificent ancient majolica. Finally we will go up to the terrace where we will have fun painting while tasting an Aperitivo with a glass of wine and enjoying an amazing seaview

The course is open to all experience levels, so you don’t need to be a professional painter!
