I always thought that the magical quality of light in Italy was a fairy tale cooked up by renaissance artists to justify travel. Then I actually went there and was astonished to see IRL views I was familiar with from European Master painters. Thought it was glamorized/phony in the paintings. Nope! Italy is truly magical.
