Siesta in Piedmont | Italian Landscape Oil Painting | Calabria | Liliya Muglia

Siesta in Piedmont is an original oil painting on panel, measuring 9 × 12 inches (23 × 30 cm). The work depicts a quiet street in Guardia Piedmontese, Calabria, during the stillness of midday. Sunlit stone walls, softened shadows, and a solitary figure at rest evoke the unspoken rhythm of a town paused between morning labor and evening return.

Rather than illustrating history directly, the painting reflects continuity through atmosphere. Guardia Piedmontese—rebuilt after the events of June 5, 1561—remains a small community where daily life unfolds slowly and deliberately. This scene honors endurance not through monument, but through ordinary presence and lived time.

The original artwork remains in the artist’s private collection and is available for acquisition. Fine art print options are also offered for collectors seeking a carefully produced reproduction that preserves the tonal warmth, spatial depth, and quiet narrative of the original work.
