A beautiful watercolour by an accomplished Italian hand. Signed in full bottom right. Very confident brush strokes suggest it is by a professional artist. I have no idea where it was painted but it may be on the Amalfi coast.
It is in good condition and will frame well.
I have interpreted the signature as best I can.
