As today is Thanksgiving in the US we thought we would compile a list of all the things we are grateful to Italy for. Italy has brought the world some wonderful things and has shaped our modern culture in so many ways. Its history of art is second to none and its mouth-watering dishes have achieved worldwide fame – no wonder it’s the perfect destination for our painting and cooking holidays. But that’s by far not all. Take a look and see what we want to thank Italy for on…

Today, we speak to our fantastic painting tutor, Hugh Tuckerman, to discuss his favourite spots painting groups visited in Italy this year. With wonderful painting holidays to Tuscany, Venice and Sicily there are so many stunning landscapes, scenes and locations to inspire our guests – it was no small task to narrow it down! We asked Hugh to pick his top painting locations that have inspired him and our guests.
