Watercolour painting (Acquerello) is a long-standing tradition in Bologna.
The city is home to several renowned art schools and artists, including the “Scuola di Belle Arti” and the “Accademia di Belle Arti”.
Watercolour is a versatile technique that can be used to create a variety of effects, from delicate landscapes to vibrant abstracts. Artists in Bologna have used watercolor to capture the beauty of their city, from its porticoes and canals to its hills and vineyards.
Some of Bologna’s best-known watercolourists include Giovanni Segantini, Pelagio Palagi, and Giorgio Morandi.
Today, the watercolour tradition in Bologna continues.
The city is home to a few galleries and museums exhibiting works by watercolorists, including National Picture Gallery, Museum of Modern Art and Gallery of Modern Art.
LA DOTTA Acquerello is an explosion of colours that reproduces the nuances and shades of watercolour painting, applied by hand combining the techniques of two arts, the airbrushing, fundamental for creating the base, and the more pictorial one of watercolour which represents the true protagonist of this process: each individual piece is handmade and is therefore unique, with a texture that cannot be repeated on another model.
