When I saw this medieval manor house I had to take a photo, knowing I would be painting this scene. The Alba region of Northern Italy is very scenic. Roads in that area straddle the high ridges of the mountains. It is possible to see wide vistas of vineyards on both sides of the road, sweeping to the valley floor like an undulating green carpet. Amazing. Ancient walled cities sit on top of mountains, totally surrounded by the growing vines. The wines are delicious: Arneis (white) Barolo, Barberesco, Barbera (reds). Asti, a sparking variety, comes from this region too.
