2 Year Old Has Swollen Toe

Segantini

I know some will wonder Segantini but is not an Italian name? Then it Ticino?! No, no it is Italian with a capital penalty in this case because this year we celebrate 150 years of our unity. ( Above one of my favorites!)

will not get bored with the biography of John Segantini, a painter who lived between the late 800 and early 900 of Lombardy, St.Moritz (or canton Graubunden Grigioni in Italian) and Savognin. Painter graduated from the Brera and lover of the mountains of the Grisons as few. For everything else there wiki as usual!
I've always loved the mountains, my favorite for sentimental reasons are those of the mountain range which includes the Monte Rosa in the Aosta Valley, the mountains drew as a child were always white, or green, depending on the season, with trees Evergreen, which made the mountains a dark green and deep and so 'rents to do to get the light to the undergrowth.
Then I discovered the Dolomites, beautiful, gray, massive, but in my imagination has been drawing as a child and the mountains are green or white, or are not there.
Also for this reason I really love the Swiss mountains as she loved him and still more I admire his drawings and panels, so alive that makes you want to go and live under the image.
in his honor was organized an exhibition in Basel, Beyler Foundation, which collects his works and sketches.
The exhibition to be on Sunday morning was incredibly full, you can see its not the only one to appreciate the genre.
strange to hear talk more French than German, the Swiss, French and foreigners are very fond of most of the Swiss German museums or simply have more free time and money to spend?!
