Description from the seller
Oil painting on plywood titled 'La Carrozzella' by Antonio Asturi
Antonio Asturi (1904-1986) was an Italian painter known for his scenes of everyday Roman life and landscapes.

The nostalgic depiction of the Roman carrozzella attracts those seeking works that document daily life and lost traditions of the Eternal City.
