“Italia Grand Sketching Tour. Paintings and stories from my motorcycle tour discovering the beauties of Italy” is the first book narrating my trip through the beauties of Italy. It was published in March 2021. Buying your copy from me you will receive it signed together with a print. You will also support me and Margana Edizioni, the publishing house that supported the project.
From the book cover of Italia Grand Sketching Tour
Italy is known all around the world for the beautiful art and architecture that can be found on every corner, treasures that everyone can enjoy. Chiara Gomiselli, aka Chiara Go Arts, traveled with her motorcycle to discover those treasures, to capture them in her drawings and to reveal their secrets to us.
“The book that you have in your hands collects my watercolor paintings of the beauties of the Italian towns I have visited, the stories of those places, the adventures I lived in those months, the new and old friendships and the journey to discover myself. I started without a real program and I let the street, the beauty and the intuition guide me. I am really glad that you decided to join me in this ride. Let’s go!”
They say about the book (Verified reviews from Amazon):
die: “A colorful and shared journey“

You are not buying a book to read, or an album of images, but a life experience to live together with the author. You will ride on her motorbike, sharing her imagination and her curiosity to discover the Italian world. Because Chiara’s tour, without a precise route, winds its way through the beautiful country without a precise map other than that of “go where the vehicle takes you”, in short, almost a “medieval journey”. For each “station” there is a completely personal angle and perspective that at the very least invites us to deepen as well as tickle the journey and to ask ourselves at the end: why don’t I also take a journey like this? And the answer is not because I don’t know how to draw, but because it takes courage and a pinch of creative madness to do it (and maybe even to tell about it). Highly recommended

This cover will probably attract 3 types of buyers: sketching enthusiasts, motorcyclists, friends of artists and bikers looking for the right gift. But it is a very enjoyable book for all readers!
You do not necessarily have to read from top to bottom. You can browse pleasantly through it to catch glimpses of Italy, especially least known places, spontaneously painted by the author.
You can tour at your own speed and get caught up in the reading to discover that the texts, long at first sight, is flowing and never pedantic, enriched by the author’s curiosity and interesting personal reflections.
I confess, I took it for the watercolors, I belong to type 1, and I found myself reading it without looking at the figures!
This volume travels through northern Italy, so we await the rest of the Grand Sketching tour.

An excellent and rare example of how art, the beauty of Italy and the spirit of adventure can converge in an Artistic-literary work that is able at the same time to stimulate the love for our country and for the colors of life. Beautiful watercolors, travel diaries and exciting adventures, in a single volume, which will leave joyfully surprised all those who travel through its pages.
