Where in Europe?
I would love to know what town in Europe this scene is? Love it, but want to make sure I cross stitch a scene of somewhere where I have been to. Thanks

This looks like Italy to me...Portofino as a matter of fact.

Someone from Artecy, perhaps Tereena, will see this and know what it is.

I just Googled Portofino and the area in this picture seems too flat, the architecture not right and the houses don't have the varied colours that they have there which a cross stitch picture would include.

It's not Spain as the costal region has mostly white houses. My guess is that it "could" be in Portugal or Southern France. What an interesting question.

Hi Ludemann,

This is our design from a painting by Nicky Boehme, we licensed it through a licensing agency so we don't speak directly to the Artist. There was no description of where the painting
is or if it is a fictional place that the Artist has created from her imagination.

All I can say is that it is definitely Italy as when I look close up at the signs from the original image they say Pizzeria, Rafaells Ristorante and Hotel Villa Déste. Maybe it represents an area around Lake Como in Italy?

Hope this information helps, please let me know if you have any further queries.

Thanks and Best Wishes
