\u201cI dream my painting and I paint my dream<\/em>\u201d said Vincent van Gogh. If you love this art, have you ever considered the idea of a painting holiday in Italy<\/u><\/a>, home to some of the greatest painters of all time? It doesn\u2019t have to remain a dream: with Studiainitalia you can easily join professional artists and maestros<\/strong> in their bottega<\/em> (artistic studio). Here you can learn century-old traditions and techniques, discovering or refining your skills \u2013 whether you are a professional painter or just enjoy painting as a hobby.\"Painting Portrait painting, oil painting, watercolour painting, fresco painting \u2013 you name it, and you can learn it with the best teachers. During your art vacations in Italy, you can alternate your painting workshops<\/strong> with visits in museums and churches<\/strong> where you can admire fantastic works by famous and less-known artists alike.\"Painting For example, if you study painting in Florence you are right in the cradle of the Renaissance<\/strong>! What better place for viewing masterpieces such as \u201cTrinity<\/em>\u201d by Masaccio in Santa Maria Novella, the painting where one-point perspective and modern spatial illusion began? In the Uffizi Gallery, you will be mesmerized by the enigmatic \u201cPrimavera<\/em>\u201d by Sandro Botticelli; while the Church of Santa Felicita hides \u201cDeposition from the Cross<\/em>\u201d by Pontormo, one of the most beautiful works of Florentine Mannerism.\"Florence:In Florence, you can find art<\/strong> almost around every corner, and even in your plate! Florentine cuisine<\/strong> grew out of humble origins, relying on fresh food from the surrounding countryside. Local dishes prepared with the rustic ingredients do not necessarily have a picture-perfect, gourmet aspect, but they come with an explosion of colours and flavours. Examples are the \u201cpappa al pomodoro<\/em>\u201d soup combining tomatoes, basil, garlic, stale bread and olive oil \u2013 or its salad version called \u201cpanzanella<\/em>\u201d. If you are more of a carnivore, don\u2019t miss on \u201ctrippa alla fiorentina<\/em>\u201d with tripe, saut\u00e9ed in olive oil, onions, tomatoes and parmesan, or the flagship \u201cbistecca alla fiorentina<\/em>\u201d, a thick porterhouse cut of beef made from the local Chianina cattle breed.
