Romantic image of an Italian city. When I first visited Rome, I was very inspired by the many swallows that cut through the sky over ancient and medieval roofs. Their fast joyful flight especially emphasized the "eternity" of this city. I began to paint this picture immediately after returning from Rome, but could not finish for several years. And only now I was able to restore that "sense of history" in myself. which was necessary for me and finish this picture.
