Description
While traveling Italy a number of years ago, I came upon this charming inn and trattoria in Siena. A fascinating world of art all unto it's own style.
In a world of commercial clones, Marcello's is a rather funky and very artsy inn with a trattoria on the main floor. It is a place apart, its integrity palpable both to the eye and to the tongue. Very inexpensive and a good value with all the senses that fuel the artist soul. Marcello's wife is the chef at the trattoria.
A very charming, Italiano only speaking lady, who happened to be very talented with her fabulous dishes. I had a feeling she kept her inn-keeper husband in line. I thought the strong woman behind the scenes deserved a painting so above you see my painting of Marcello's wife.
Here is the actual blog post about my trip to Italy:

"Marcello, a little more wine over here, please." Colleen, I'm not sure what's more enjoyable. your painting or your story.
