Davide Berrettini - Of Dreams and Chimeras

This drawing represents the view of Siena, which I prefer. When I was in high school, I attended the T. Sarrocchi Technical Institute, located in San Domenico. Every day, when I left school, I would stop in this place, leaning against a low wall, admiring the beauty of this city, its endless, intersecting roofs, imagining how many stories lay hidden behind each of those little windows. There was often a little black kitten that passed by and always came to be petted, and it was as if we shared that beautiful moment together. High above the Duomo there is a barely mentioned religious reference, but one which is of great importance to Siena and the Sienese: it is the Virgin Mary, to whom the Duomo itself is dedicated, who protects the city. I called the drawing “of dreams and chimeras,” taken from a popular Sienese song, because this is truly a place to dream and where Siena truly seems like a chimera…

(…) On this serene night you are the most beautiful in Siena for me … taken from “O Senesina”.
