Portofino is a famous little town at the Italian West coast - South of Genoa. Originally it was inhabited by fishermen. Today it is a fashionable town. Too fashionable in my taste. Tourists, Gucci stores, billion class yachts, fancy restaurants. As I looked closer at the old colourful houses I was terror-stricken. All the architectural details around windows etc. was not real - they were PAINTED. But now I have taught myself to look at the houses as a piece of scenery - just a flat. And it is a beautiful piece of scenery - a beautiful flat. I look forward to work with more genuine towns in Cinque Terre like Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and RioMaggiore. I was there and a friend of mine has immortalized the magnificent sceneries - I'l do an art work on each of these towns - concluding my series of old fishermen towns and their fantastic architecture.
