Today’s FREE article is up and it’s an online exhibition of Italian #WW1 art Paolo Del Giudice was chosen from almost 70 abstract artists to create a centenary exhibition in 2018. I absolutely fell in love with his work, and he’s been kind enough to let me share some of it with you…

FREE EXHIBITION: The First World War in Italian Art

In late 2023 I was taking an Istoria tour group through northern Italy on our First World War ‘After Caporetto’ tour when we made a stop at one of the best museums in the region in Vittorio Veneto.
