Napoli sketched panorama

Panorama di Napoli intero



November has been very warm in Naples, people still swim even downtown. After a long walk on Posillipo's hill (follow the red line on the drawing) we rested on a small dock. My son caught a little fish with some hooks he found on the ground, and thrown it back into the sea. Meanwhile, I did this panorama on five pages of a sketchbook and, like always, didnt noticed the horizon hangs a little 'to the right. Behind the building on the right, there is the beautiful park and Villa Rosebery, one of the three official residences of the President of the Italian Republic. I have been scolded by some soldiers once, because I was kayaking too near to the villa.

Awesome sketch, I almost feel like I'm there. Great to see the panorama up close using the scroll bar.
