Description
*There's no other place in the world, which I would die for.
No other one, which makes me cry for emotion, the way I do here.
I owe to my town, all the sense of respect for beuaty, people and culture I have.
All my inspirations, blossomed from the treasure of living in this corner of paradise.
I tried to find a poem , among millions written by so many writers about my town, that could express what I feel when I immerse myself in the sight of Florence.
But I couldn't find any,not even from my beloved Dante that could express the immense joy of my heart when from Piazzale Michelangelo I see this sight I have painted.
Forever grateful, that I can call Florence "My Home".
Wherever I'll live and go, this will always be the only place I would love to rest at. Until and after the end of my days.
Come here one day, all of you.
And I hope, that you will then understand me in full.*
Meli

yo thats great stuff, very detailed, nice work XD
Semplicemente, la migliore opera che tu abbia mai dipinto.Ma Firenze, per quanto bella, non lo quanto te.
Tr beau travail Mel (Florence est une tr belle ville que je ne connais pas), j'adore les couleurs, le trait cela change du style que tu pratique en gal pour dessiner tes "portraits", "personnages"...
geeze.. I am glad I did some catching up. is there any room left for another comment?? lol. Meli, it is beautiful, and you have shown it's beauty in a more intensified version... from you eyes and heart. I've seen this, and am thinking of driving to find your exact view... truley amazing work, fantastically done. A true artist indeed!!! ty for sharing this!!! :O)
Non c'niente che io possa aggiungere, tranne grazie per farci ricordare cosa sia arte, e cosa no.
Beautiful painting. Color and lighting are great. Maybe my favorite of all your work. Keep painting!
I was blown completely away by this. I want you to paint more!!!!!!

man u've come so far since the first pics that i commented on! use of colour,texture,light... s'all really great! 2 months eh?
This is the best you've ever done. And the best I have ever seen in the 2D gallery. I didn't want to use the "Favourite" feature as it doesn't look any useful to me, but this one I had to add there in the Images at least. A masterpiece.This is real art.
complimenti (sembrerpoco ma sono beato davanti a questa splendida vista e meraviglioso lavoro... un classico senza parole, ma con sensazioni di puro entusiasmo)
I have saved this one on my hard drive (what an awful word for such a piece of art from you). I have travelled a lot. I love Florence. This city means love to me. This one deserves to be in the 'Galleria degli Uffizi'. Thanks Mel, thanks so much...
Meli...I don't know if there are words enough to fully embrace the compositional genius and detail you have invested in this work. I was so very amazed by the sketch and the detail that was present, but you have out done yourself. Beautiful, vibrant colors fill the image with golden tones blazing through each painted brush stroke. I can see by this flawlessly beautiful painting just how much you love Florence! Wonderful!
Ohh my my. a masterpiece, i just love this one, i must go someday, thanks for sharing this work.
this is really fabulous Mel!!!
simply the best paint of all yours so far...
The very strong orange-red colour works really well, especially with the dark emerald green. Excellent.
Wow...I think I would have a field day in Florence...making a photograph every time I turn around and look in a different direction!! Awe inspiring work of art...from...an awe inspiring work of Art. Tip of the hat to ya Meli [];^)
This is simply gorgeous! Non molto altro da aggiungere, se non che quest'opera finisce dritta nella lista delle fav's, cosda poterci tornare con un semplice clic di tanto in tanto...
One of my favorites from you, love everything about it. Excellent colorisation of reality. Good use of color to obtain depth and contrast. Hard work inspires me, this goes into my inspiration folder!
like your painting there is no doubt and thats what i think you're an artist. I notice the opposition between the dark and the bright side of the city this is great...:)
After seeing this one I cant believe that you refuse to call yourself an artist! This is classic!
Wow, you got my attention with this piece. Excellent artwork. I am inspired.
Io lo chiamo capolavoro, tu chiamalo come vuoi...
Mi accodo alla Katia.Anche se non la conosco:P
Absolument magnifique!
Wow. This is amazing. Like, really amazing. It has an almost (almost) cezanne typed geometry on some of the buildings, and the space...the contrast, color, layout, any formal element you can imagine, it is done here, and done well...not well...its done with amazing skill, moreso than most of the painters i ever saw in school. This is like post impressionism all over again. Wow. Later later
