Vacation rentals in Bergamo

Let's experience the beauty of Bergamo in an unusual way! We will discover the Old City of Bergamo (Città Alta) through plein air painting, in the same way painters used to paint in the past: sitting in the nature, letting the landscape in! From the Venetian Walls of Bergamo (Unesco inheritage) we will look together for the best framing and then will start our experience. I will explain you the basic rules for a good composition (rule of thirds, balancing of empty and full spaces, etc), and I will explain step by step how to mix and use the colours. We'll paint on a small panel or canvas (wood or cardboard) with acrylic colours. Not only naturalistic painting: every kind of creativity is welcome! At the end of the experience you'll take your art piece at home as a souvenir. Other things to note We will paint on small panels or canvas (18x24 cm /7 x 9 inches). The art work will be packed, so that you can bring it away with you. If the weather is not very good we will paint in a nearby sheltered space, always outdoors

We will bike through the city visiting the main historical spots. What better way to discover Milan than by bike? Hop on and explore Milan’s historical highlights on two wheels. Get to know the city’s artistic side, spot architectural gems & visit beautiful landmarks. If you aren’t in love with Milan already, you will be after this. Other things to note PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:- In Milan there are few bike lanes so we may bike in the street and on sidewalk among people. -Bikes are different for every tour so I cannot guarantee on their quality. They aways work and in case they don't, it is possible to change them.
