Original artwork description:

athed in the golden light of southern Italy, my work captures the luminous essence of Spiaggia della Purità, that emblematic corner where the sea embraces Gallipoli with a ritual gentleness. Every detail is born from the vivid memory of the trip I took to Puglia two years ago: the constant murmur of the Ionian Sea, the salty breeze mingling with the scent of ancient streets, and the warmth of a region that seems to speak in whispers of sun and time.

The scene reveals the unique beauty of urban beaches, those places where everyday life blends seamlessly with the serenity of the sea, and where each ray of light turns the ordinary into something extraordinary. The white façades of the old town lean toward the water as if wanting to stretch into the horizon, reflecting the Mediterranean spirit and history that make Gallipoli so special.

To contemplate my work is to return to that summer in Puglia: to slow walks through narrow alleys, to the indescribable shimmer of water that seemed to multiply the light, and to the profound emotion of finding beauty in the natural harmony between city and sea. More than a landscape, it is the memory of a moment that still breathes.
