Description by the artist

Watercolor print dedicated to the generous and fragrant summer flowering of Plumeria, known as Pomelia but  better  known as Frangipani. In Palermo in the  summer you can enjoy the spectacle of Plumeria in bloom, plants very common in the city that give flowers with a light and inebriating scent, originated from the tropical zones of Central America and of the Caribbean and well acclimatized to the Sicilian sun. The watercolor technique allows to capture reality in a fresh and extemporaneous way and is part of the story of a special journey in the Boranic Garden of Palermo through images in an illustrated narrative path that starts from the direct relationship of the places visited.

The artwork in the Sicilian culture

The Botanical Garden of Palermo dates back to 1779 and has a collection of 12,000 plants. It is a place of great charm and, above all, of great scientific interest for the various botanical species that it houses. Inside the garden there are also several buildings in neo-classical style.
