Living North, Thinking South

The very first sketchbook I bought was an attempt to cure a purely physiological need to mend my homesickness, back in 2016. From that moment on, it’s been a bouncing sequence of  sketches portraying the place where I actually lived and the one I yearned for. Specifically, I’ve been divided mainly between Milan (adoptive city) and Ruvo di Puglia (birthplace), with some random visits in European capitals. Ruvo di Puglia – Larghetto Cervone

Milan – View of Corso Buenos Aires

Ruvo di Puglia – View of  roofs in the old town

Milan – Corner at via Turro

Ruvo di Puglia – tomatoes ready to become home-made sauce

Milan – Gae Aulenti Square with construction site

Ruvo di Puglia – A pharmacy

Dublin – O’Neill’s pub

Milan – Tito Minniti square
