Porta Ticinese Medievale
I painted this in November sitting in the piazza by Porta Ticinese Medievale in Milan. Even through December there have been sunny days warm enough to comfortably sit in the parks or piazzas. The visit Milano website writes that this arch was part of the city walls and originally built in 1171. Then destroyed and later restored in the 19th Century with the arches being opened again in 1861. It is amazing, the history that lies within a “modern city” such as Milan.
