This page contains images from my travel
sketchbook to the South of Italy. Searching for
the more Greek land and seascapes, I discovered
an even much more fascinating layering of
histories including the Aragonese, Angiovin, and
Norman cultures that produced the fabled
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies under the Spanish
Bourbons in the 1700s.
These drawings were done on site.
