Italy, Mantova, Palazzo Ducale

We visited the "Palazzo Ducale di Mantova", an impressive medieval construction with several courtyards, towers and gardens. 

The highlight of the castle is "la camera degli sposi", a fresco-painted room with paintings of the rulers, their family and their dogs.

I made this sketch from the river side, where you can get a perspective of the oldest part of the Castle. The main entrance, toward the center of the city, is from the Renaissance period

Il Duomo Verona, Italia

We spent Christmas and the New Year's Eve in the Veneto region, where part of my maternal family lives.

It was the opportunity to present my wife to them and to show to her some of the most beautiful cities in that area.

We spent one of the days in Verona, where I sketched this church, one of the most important in the city.
