点评:On our 2nd trip to Varenna, we found Paolo’s studio— after closing. Melita was kind enough to stay open for a few minutes and show us around. We found several paintings we loved and made arrangements to stop the next day to further examine them.
Upon our return the following day, we confirmed our love of Paolo’s work. In particular, an unfinished painting of Varenna caught our eye. We decide to get it once it was finished— sort of bought on commission or on faith— a decision we are thrilled we made!
There was also a second painting of Varenna at night that we also liked. We ended up getting that painting, too! Both are hanging in our house— lovely, brilliant reminders of Lake Como, Varenna, Italy and the friends made there.
Melita and Paolo were so helpful, friendly and warm that I am sure we will visit them upon our next trip to Varenna.
翻译:第二次去瓦伦纳的时候,我们找到了保罗的工作室——可惜已经关门了。梅丽塔非常热情地为我们延长了几分钟的营业时间,并带我们参观。我们看中了几幅画,并约好第二天再去仔细欣赏。
第二天我们再次来到工作室,果然被保罗的作品深深吸引。尤其是一幅未完成的瓦伦纳风景画,更是让我们眼前一亮。我们决定等它完成就买下来——算是委托购买,也算是凭着一股信任——我们非常庆幸自己做了这个决定!
还有一幅瓦伦纳夜景的画作也让我们很喜欢。最终,我们也把它买了下来!现在这两幅画都挂在我们家——它们是我们美好回忆的源泉,让我们想起科莫湖、瓦伦纳、意大利以及在那里结识的朋友们。
梅丽塔和保罗都非常热情友好,乐于助人。我相信下次去瓦伦纳的时候,我们一定会再次拜访他们。
