Visit my first atelier in the hills of Tuscany
My first atelier sits on Via di Gracciano — Montepulciano's main street, winding up through Renaissance palazzi and wine cellars to Piazza Grande at the top of town.
From Porta al Prato
2 minutes on foot
Right at the entrance to the old town.
Where it all began
This is my first atelier — the space where I started showing my work. I grew up in Montepulciano, among fields of sunflowers and poppies, and this is where I turned that love of colour into paintings.
Restored family furniture and second-hand objects create the same warm, lived-in feeling as my Siena shop — a small Victorian parlour you're welcome to explore.
Original paintings to take home
I always have a selection of finished paintings available to buy and take with you the same day — from small works perfect for a suitcase to larger compositions.
If you're looking for something specific or want a custom piece inspired by your visit to Tuscany, we can discuss a commission in person and I'll ship the finished painting to you anywhere in the world.
I'm happy to help in Italian, English, or German.
Where in Montepulciano
Whether you're here for the Vino Nobile or just a day trip through Tuscany — my atelier is on the main street, right at the start of the walk up to Piazza Grande.

My atelier is at number 109 — early in the walk, before the steep part begins.

Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
No — just walk in. If you'd like a longer conversation about a commission or want to see specific works, send me a message beforehand so I can set aside time.
What are the opening hours?
Generally Monday to Saturday, 10:30 AM to 6 PM. Hours can vary during off-season or holidays — check my Instagram stories or message me on WhatsApp before visiting to make sure I'm there.
How do I find the atelier?
Montepulciano's centre is a ZTL (limited traffic zone). Park outside the city walls — the car park near Porta al Prato is closest. Walk through the gate and up Via di Gracciano — number 109 is early in the walk, before it gets steep. Look for the flowers in the window.
Can I buy a painting to take home with me?
Yes! I always have finished paintings available in various sizes. Paintings on paper travel well — no glass, no heavy frames. Even larger works can fly home with you, or I can ship worldwide.
Can I commission a painting during my visit?
Absolutely. Many visitors commission paintings inspired by their time in Tuscany — the flowers they saw, the colours of the landscape, a memory they want to keep. We discuss your vision in person, and I ship the finished work to you anywhere in the world.
Do you have another location?
Yes — my second shop is on Via San Pietro 7 in Siena, in the historic centre just two minutes from Piazza del Campo. If you're visiting both towns, both spaces are worth a stop.
Come say hello
Whether you're in Montepulciano for the wine, the views, or just passing through — you're always welcome.
