Note:
One of the first works of Aeropittura by D’Anna executed after his meeting with Mino Somenzi, one of the signatories of the Manifesto dell’Aereopittura Futurista. The composition combines, in the typical style of the young Sicilian painter, the landscape view with the exploration from above, according to the Aeropittura’s rules established by Marinetti.
