March 18, 2022 – Lecture and live sketches by artist Forrest Spears with a focus on the Lunigiana area.
The Lunigiana is the far northern tip of Tuscany and its landscape is dominated by the upper (northern) section of Italy’s backbone, the Appenines. It’s not a touristic spot at all and there are over 160 castles to discover tucked into its landscape.
Born in Denver, Colorado, Forrest Spears lived all over the US, from Portland to Boston, and points in between. He moved to Italy in 1987 to work as a fashion designer and he spent 15 years designing shoes. Today, he calls home the property Il Poggiolo in Codiponte after a complex renovation.
