Calderino outside Bologna




From the dining room of Nino and Rosalba's house the
Calanchi (small mountains of soft grey clay) frame fields that fold ochre and green
into paintings. Giorgio Morandi hardly left this area his entire life. And though he kept mostly to his own studio, this landscape is undoubtedly the birthplace of his palette.
Apparently just last October his house has been opened to public view.
But first, a little tortellini.
