The winners are

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Debra Kolkka

Sunday was hot at Ponte a Serraglio, but it didn’t stop lots of artists to gather to take part in the art competition in the Villa Fiori park.

I wasn’t there, but my friends Moe and Liz took some photos to share. There are also some by local photographers Valerio Ceccarelli and Domenico Bertuccelli.

Artists found a cool spot where they could.

My friend Moe had a great vantage point on my balcony.

The standard was excellent.

There was music and dancing.

These were the first 3 prizes awarded…I think 3rd and 4th and 5th.

This is the second prize.

This is the winner.

Congratulations to everyone involved for a successful day at Ponte a Serraglio.

It is almost time for the annual art competition held by Borgo degli Atisti in the park beside Villa Fiori.

It is a fun day whether you are an artist or an observer. Come to watch the artists at work or set up an easel and start painting.

Colori e Sapori

The art competition was a big success on Sunday. It was a sunny day and the artists found suitable spots around the park and Ponte a Serraglio to create their masterpieces.

Finished paintings appeared quickly.

The judges worked hard to find winners…here they are…first to 5th.

Well done the people from Borgo degli Artisti for a great event, now in its 9th year.

Thank you to Sheila, Liz and Alan for taking photos for us.

Art in the park 2015

Posted on July 13, 2015 by Debra Kolkka

On Sunday the eighth annual Art Competition organised by Borgo degli Artisti was held in the park beside Villa Fiori. The day was hot, so most artists set up their easels in the shade of the old trees.
There was a space set up for the children, and Belinda, to paint a dove or create their own art. Lunch is always an important part of the day…always. The artists had to work quickly. Their work had to be completed in time for the judging. The winners were… Student…Serenella Randazza 1st…Emilio Cavani 2nd…Silvio Bondarda 3rd…Massimo Ricco 4th…Graziana Masetti. A big thank you to Sheila, who took all these great photos for us. …and thank you to Borgo degli Artisti for organising the event. They do a wonderful job on the Art Competition every year.

It is almost time for the annual art competition in the park at Villa Fiori.

It is bound to be a great day on 12th July. The day kicks off at 8.00 for the participating artists and lunch will be at 12.30pm. Even if you are not an artist it is interesting to watch the artists at work.

As well, the main street in La Villa will be closed to traffic on the evening of Friday, 10th July. Ristorante del Sonno will have tables in the street for a fun evening.

There will only be a few pedestrian only evenings this summer, so make the most of it.

Every year the Borgo degli Artisti organises an art competition at Ponte a Serraglio in the beautiful grounds of the Villa Fiori. Kerry was there to take some photos for us so we can be part of the fun day.

It was a hot day and the artists sought shade where they could.
