Wonderful fresco painting experience with local artist - Scheduling a fresco painting class with Aerma Polani in her Villa home and studio was a highlight of our trip. Coming off of touring Pompeii and seeing the beautiful frescos and then meeting Aerma Polani who has taken her love of fresco art and developed it into her own style while maintaining the authenticity of the ancient manner of creating these works of art was truly a unique and wonderful experience. She welcomed us into her Villa home, demonstrated the manner in which she collected the natural pigments to use in the paintings, showing how to create the fresco, then sharing appetizers and listening to music from her terrace was truly memorable. Both she and her husband were friendly and hospitable showing us their home which they are clearly proud of and rightly so. Would return again to visit and create another fresco to bring home as a memento of our trip. She is a wonderful artist in her own right, author, and local resident of Vico Equense that makes a visit to her studio worthwhile.

Book the class - you won't regret it! - This is quite possibly one of the best things we did while in Sorrento. Our group included all ages with varied skill levels. The time with Aerma was informative and fun. We had just visited Pompeii and this was an incredible ending to our day. She was patient, kind and knowledgeable. You will have a deeper appreciation and connection to Italy - and get to take home some a tangible reminder of your time.

Best part of my trip to Italy! - WOW, what an amazing experience! Aerma Polani is a kind and patient teacher and wonderful host. My family of three enjoyed our time learning this unique art style and getting to know the artist, her works, and even a bit of her family history. We plan to proudly display our creations at home along with a gorgeous painting we purchased from the artist herself to help commemorate our time together.

The expertise and patience in sharing this creative talent with our family was an excellent experience. - Our family was interested in the artistic technique that was necessary to produce beautiful frescos. Our visits to various historical sites in the Naples/Sorrento area motivated us to better understand the process that it took to make them.

a relaxing afternoon between art and culture - I am so happy that I have chosen to participate in this Workshop! Aerma Polani was just amazing and fresco painting was an exciting experience. We stayed in the ancient villa of Aerma Polani, it was a relaxing afternoon between art and wine. The ancient technique of frescos surely needs to be better known to attract new people and artists!
