  • On my last evening in Rome a group of us went to the Piazza Navona, i wanted to buy an original local artists oil painting to take home.
    There were many local artists displaying their art works in the Piazza, it was really beautiful to see them at work, alot of the artists had folders showing all their art work.....i chose 2 oil paintings of bright beautiful colours, for 60 euros, i requested the oils be rolled into a cylinder case so they would not get crushed on the plane trip home, he kindly did that for me and i was very happy with my purchases.
    I got home the next day and the oils were prints!!!! not happy, but what can you do, it is very dissappointing...so my advice is watch them wrap your goods.
