 I like pointing out lesser known places in Umbria.   Just right outside of Porchiano del Monte lies the Eremo di S. Trinità, a hermitage from the 12th century.  It's about 600 mt. walking distance into the forest.  It's a

 One of the nice things of living in Umbria is that you're surrounded by small producers of heavenly food.  Meet Gianni and Simona of Cellitti, cheesemakers in Porchiano del Monte. I spoke to Simona the other day and asked her some

The nicest surprise about my trip to Verona was the Youth Hostel at Villa Francescatti. I highly recommend it to anyone of any age.  It is a villa originally from the 16th century, recently restored with an enchanting garden and beautifully kept. It is in quiet historical neighborhood overlooking the city and within walking distance to the center.  Private rooms with bathrooms are available too. 

 La cosa più bella del mio viaggio a Verona è stata quella di scoprire l'Ostello della Gioventu.  E' situata in una villa del 16° secolo, recentemente restaurata e con un giardino incantevole.  Non dista lontano dal centro storico.  Ci sono stanze con bagni privati anche.

I love Italian decorative motifs.

About me

I'm a Painter.

Just like you, I enjoy finding and marveling at apparently insignificant things such as wildflowers picked on a morning walk, a local fruit right out of an orchard, or an Italian landscape especially at sunset when the colors warm up.

I love simplicity & quality and I embed these values in my paintings by using only the finest Italian oil paints and supports. When you purchase a Barragan Painting you're buying a timeless original that will last for generations. Each painting is signed on the front & back and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
