View from Pzzale Michelangelo II
About This Painting:
For trees in the typical Tuscan landscape, we can easily think of cypress, olive and grape vines. They are indispensable elements to paint in a believable painting of Tuscany.
While marveling at a majestic view of rooftops of city of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo, I spotted a few prominent-looking palm trees on a hillside. Palm trees? At first, they looked out of place because, in my mind, they were the image of tropics.
But soon I was reminded that most of Italy belonged to a Mediterranean climate zone and there should be no surprise palms grow in Florence, too. I should have known better as someone who lives in a similar climate (San Diego, California) and see lots of palm trees every day.
