Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 33. Chiesa Della Fornacetta, Barga, Tuscany



Sitting on a low wall at the back of Barga cathedral I could look down on the suburb of Fornacetta with the best possible view of this ancient church (which may be called Santa Maria, I'm not sure) with its charming hexagonal chapel. This really was a high speed scribble but it works quite well, I think.

Fornacetta, by the way, is where the Della Robbias had the studio and workshop in which they produced some of the unique, remarkable, enamelled reliefs to be seen in churches all over Italy.
