This is on the corner of Via Griselda. #Griselda is the main character of an old story mentioned also in the Boccaccio's #Decameron. She was married to the Marquis of Saluzzo, Gualtieri, that happened to be a giant asshole. Seriously, the poor woman. Read the story if you don't believe me. It is a terrible, terrible story, and I cannot figure out what's the point of it. Saluzzo has also a Via Gualtieri, but at least they are not too close together. The church you see in the background is part of the ex-Jesuits college, that now is the City Hall. I finished sketching just in time before the rain. . . . #saluzzo #marchesatodisaluzzo #saluzzovecchia #artdrawing #art #sketch #draw #artwork #drawingart #artoninstagram #sketching #urbansketching #illustration #wercolorillustration #inkandwatercolor #usk #urbansketchers #enricosketching #watercolors #penandwash #penandwatercolor #danielsmith #fabrianoartistico #davincibrushes #escodabrushes #lamysafari #sailorpen (at Saluzzo - Centro Storico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj7W2Afsfe2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I never saw this church without the construction site wrapping its façade. The overgrown vegetation demonstrates that the operation is not going on very fast… Anyway I like the ivy climbing the little bell tower, so I sat and draw it. Then today I was looking at some books in a bookstore, where I picked a book about Saluzzo. I opened a random page and there it was: a paragraph talking about this very same church, with an old picture of the building without jungle and construction site, portrayed from the very same angle and the very same time of the day, judging from the shadows. I learned it's called "Crociata Bianca" (White crossed). And I learned that there are also a "Crociata Rossa" (Red crossed) and a "Crociata Nera" (Black crossed), this last one I knew. Interesting. . . . #saluzzo #marchesatodisaluzzo #saluzzovecchia #church #artdrawing #art #sketch #draw #artwork #drawingart #artoninstagram #sketching #urbansketching #illustration #wercolorillustration #inkandwatercolor #usk #urbansketchers #enricosketching #sketchnowadays #watercolors #penandwash #penandwatercolor #danielsmith #windsorandnewton #davincibrushes #escodabrushes #sailorpen (at Saluzzo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPGNfQs2KX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I originally scouted this location with the intention of drawing the opposite direction. But then, after all the fatigue climbing the road all the way up there, the afternoon sun was shining behind it. So I adapted and turned myself 180°. . . . #saluzzo #marchesatodisaluzzo #saluzzovecchia #artdrawing #art #sketch #draw #artwork #drawingart #artoninstagram #sketching #urbansketching #illustration #wercolorillustration #inkandwatercolor #usk #urbansketchers #enricosketching #sketchnowadays #watercolors #penandwash #penandwatercolor #danielsmith #windsorandnewton #davincibrushes #escodabrushes #sailorpen (at Saluzzo - Centro Storico) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChjryIqscx5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a nice corner I found here! The steep alley, the trees, the roofs, the cathedral bell tower in the background. There was a cat laying in a gutter above me that sleepily observed me drawing for a long while. . . . #saluzzo #marchesatodisaluzzo #saluzzovecchia #artdrawing #art #sketch #draw #artwork #drawingart #artoninstagram #sketching #urbansketching #illustration #wercolorillustration #inkandwatercolor #usk #urbansketchers #enricosketching #sketchnowadays #watercolors #penandwash #penandwatercolor #danielsmith #fabrianoartistico #davincibrushes #escodabrushes #lamysafari #sailorpen (at Saluzzo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChRPiKmMZek/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
