The Castle, village, coastline and primitive architecture inevitably influencing and appreciated by

artists.

Impressive scenery dominated by the majestic Aragonese Castle, acting, as it were as a background

to the beautiful and antique “Spiaggia dei Pescatori”, with its low curtain of homes and noble

dwellings, almost savouring the pleasantness of the area, since time immemorial. The eternal and

mild Mistral wind blows across the beach littered with solitary boats, fluctuating drying clothes,

like the “seafarers” coat of arms. Once upon a time……A fabulous mill was built on a strip of

ancient lava, its poles pointed skywards as if to ward off Moorish attacks, nowadays perpetuated in

fables. The popular chants of the people of the beach.. This atmosphere enfolds the artist, affixing

the architecture, Castle and beach on canvas, a beach far from the invasive colours and sounds of

summer, authentic, silent, isolated, boats resting in dock, scattered beach umbrellas and clothes

drying, consequently a triumph of simplicity and daily routines, which perpetuates in the pictorial research of Antonella Buono.
