The Vittoriano ‘the Wedding Cake’ Rome, watercolour 40 x 30cm
I was lucky enough to visit Rome recently and see this monument to Victor Emanuelle II the first King of a unified Italy. Began in 1885 and completed in 1935. The locals have nicknamed it ‘the Wedding Cake’. I happened to come across a painting of this scene in gouache by the American artist Nathan Fowkes. This is my watercolour version.
