Description
Can you imagine having someone called "The commissioner of good taste" directing each home owner on what color they should paint their own house? Well, I must admit it is to good effect. I love all the odd nooks, crannies and accentricities of this town. Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town.
Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà , is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations, particularly in the summer months. Tourist attractions in the region include a famous walking trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore (called Via dell'Amore, "Love's Trail") and hiking trails in the hills and vineyards above the town. Manarola is one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre. Most of the houses are bright and colorful. Manarola was celebrated in paintings by Antonio Discovolo. I took a very expressive free approach to painting this happy subject.

I think you are the master of this subject, Bob. Love the sunlight I can feel in this painting of Manarola.

Very lively and expressive throughout Robert! In England, I imagine the commissioner of good taste might be known as Lord Snooty! : ) (Probably a good thing though to preserve the beauty of the town) l/f

SO light hearted R/W Bob. That's the word that wanted to come out first. Perhaps because this wonderful place is on a cliff and that symbolically immediately lifts my spirits but also because of your exquisite glowing rendering and brightly spontaneous color splashes. Such beauty too in the clouds which are full of light and quickly moving. There is so much joy expressed here in your outstanding Manarola painting. L/F
