A day at the seaside drawing and painting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the summer\u00a0students are given the opportunity to take part to some special private sessions<\/strong> in front of the sea on the beautiful coast of Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Both Art novices<\/span> and more expert artists<\/span> can take advantage of these private classes, during which different techniques<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(such as pencils, charcoals, watercolor, acrylics) can be used according to each student’s specific needs and requests.<\/p>\n

These private sessions are open to all students who wish to enjoy an outdoor lesson<\/strong><\/span> far from the madding crowd in the magic of the seascape<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castiglioncello<\/summary>\n\n

Castiglioncello is a renowned seaside resort, just one hour and half by train from Florence. Its shores are a perfect mixture of cliffs and coves<\/strong>. Its pine woods look over the limpid blue sea.<\/p>\n

The village became popular in the sixties when several movie stars (among them Alberto Sordi<\/strong> and Marcello Mastroianni<\/span><\/strong>) chose Castiglioncello as their holiday destination. It was here that the film director Dino Risi<\/strong> shot the film \u201cThe easy life\u201d (Il Sorpasso<\/em>) starring Vittorio Gassman<\/strong> and Jean-Louis Trintignant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some decades earlier, at the turn of the 20th century, the \u201cMacchiaioli<\/a>\u201d, a group of Italian artists, did much of their painting in Castiglioncello in order to capture outdoors natural light, shade, and colour. Giovanni Fattori<\/strong>, Silvestro Lega<\/strong> and Telemaco Signorini<\/strong> were the most famous representatives of the macchiaioli circle who painted the beautiful coast line near the village in their works.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
