Dimensions with frame: 52 x 36,5 x 4 cm. Signed "Ricciardi" in the lower right corner. This lively painting depicts an animated piazza with market activity set before a monumental arched gateway crowned by a bell tower. Vendors, shoppers, and clustered figures gather beneath makeshift awnings, while colorful produce displays enliven the foreground, capturing the rhythm of daily life in a historic Mediterranean setting.
