PORT OF CESENATICO
1977, 50x70cm, Tempera on canvas with glossy spray fixative

The tranquil port of Cesenatico is immortalized as evening falls, the lights of the small house and boats, the fisherman intent on fixing his net, a couple walking home, make it all romantic.
The work “Port of Cesenatico,” created in 1977 with tempera technique on canvas and finished with a glossy spray fixative, captures with extraordinary delicacy the evening atmosphere of the picturesque port of Cesenatico. The scene is enveloped by a sense of tranquility and intimacy, as day gives way to night. The warm lights of the boats and small houses reflect gently on the waters of the port, creating a suggestive and enveloping effect. In the foreground, a fishing boat with a large mast and a dark sail is moored along the quay, with a fisherman intent on arranging the nets, a gesture that evokes the fatigue and dedication of the maritime profession. On the right side of the painting, a couple walks serenely along the port, their silhouettes barely outlined in the half-light, adding a touch of romanticism and mystery to the scene. In the background, the vessels with lowered sails rest silently on the water, while the evening sky, with its delicate nuances, frames the landscape with a sense of depth and realism. The chromatic contrast between the cold tones of the sky and water and the warm shades of reflected lights gives the painting an intimate and nostalgic atmosphere, while the golden reflection of the lamps on the rippled surface of the water adds a touch of movement and vitality to the scene.
Meaning and interpretation:
The artist wanted to convey a sensation of quiet and contemplation, celebrating the simple beauty of daily life in the port. The painting evokes the deep bond between man and the sea, represented by the fisherman who, with his gesture, symbolizes hard work and maritime tradition. At the same time, the presence of the couple suggests an atmosphere of intimacy and recollection, emphasizing the more romantic and poetic side of the scene. The balance between these elements creates a visual and narrative harmony that invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the represented moment, perceiving not only the beauty of the landscape but also the rhythm of life marked by the sea and the passing time.
Conclusion:
Overall, Port of Cesenatico is a work that encapsulates the poetry of the sea and port life, transforming a simple daily moment into a scene charged with emotion and meaning. The skillful use of light and color, combined with the balanced composition, gives the painting a sense of depth and realism that fascinates the observer. The artist manages to convey the magic of the evening on the port, a moment in which nature and human life intertwine in perfect harmony, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the serenity and charm of this timeless scenario.
