Agostino Veroni Art Studio & Atelier at Villa Minghetti, Tuscany
An Artistic Haven in a Historic Estate
Located in the charming historic village of Spicchio di Lamporecchio, just a few steps from Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace, lies the creative heart of painter Agostino Veroni. His art studio is housed in an independent wing of Villa Minghetti, a prestigious historic residence dating back to the 17th century.
Stepping into the atelier means entering a space suspended in time. The thick 17th-century walls enclose an environment filled with the unmistakable scent of oil colors and canvases, where ancient Tuscan architecture provides the perfect frame for the vibrant energy of contemporary painting.
The Creative Process: En Plein Air
The hills of Montalbano and Vinci, the silvery olive groves, the rows of vineyards, and the golden light surrounding Villa Minghetti are the true co-authors of his works. The artist often paints en plein air, moving through various corners of the villa’s garden and the surrounding fields to capture the essence of the Tuscan seasons live.
At his easel, he translates this pristine nature onto canvas using his signature palette knife technique: dense, textured, and pulsing with light. Every painting born in this atelier is an authentic piece of Tuscany—a visual narrative of bold contrasts, warm shadows, and thick layers of color that vibrate in the sunlight.
