Cold Sunday, day to Antibes: you wandering the streets of the old town, a trip to the market is always open between the usual crafts and regional food products, a stop corner bistro to the Fontaine des Delices for a hot coffee and go for a walk on the ramparts of the citadel. Wonderful views of the sea, port, and not smaller as harvest time, a few years ago have so-called Extended from the Quai des Milliardaires for super cruisers such as the Queen Elizabeth or the Saudi billionaire Nabila Kashoggi. Other than fishing port.
Along the street is a prestigious antique and art gallery Gismondi, with the giant snails blue recycled plastic rotationally molded of Cracking Art Group, artists who want to play with the city proposing works and installations break with the traditional urban image. A few meters before, perched on the sea the great workshop of the painter Nicolas de Stael , Russian aristocrats and loins. In '55 he committed suicide at age of 41 by jumping from the window of his study this. 
Austere and majestic stands the Grimaldi Castle , that the current Picasso Museum. Founded on the ancient acropolis of the Greek city of Antipolis, inhabited until the seventeenth century by the Grimaldi family who gave the name, then town hall, barracks, and finally bought in '25 from the city of Antibes that a museum. Picasso Art '900 giant and not only regular visitor to the Riviera, is enthusiastic about this place, it decorates some walls and I realized many works. In '46 with his companion Françoise Gilot era makes his studio, occupying a part. Since 1966, the Grimaldi Castle officially became the Picasso Museum, the first devoted to the artist, then follow those of Barcelona and Paris. The museum collection has been created over time thanks to the gifts of exceptional artists who have exhibited (eg, De Stael and Hartung, Picasso himself will offer 23 paintings and 44 drawings and a lot of pottery made in nearby Vallauris atelier Madoura, Jacqueline Picasso will further enrich the collection with other works) and the progressive acquisition of the city of Antibes.
The museum has been masterfully restored in recent years and the new conservative is organizing exhibitions and cultural events of high level, stealing the scepter to the Maeght Foundation in Saint Paul de Vence.

'A' douze ans comme je savais Dessiner Raphael, corn j'ai eu besoin de toute une routes pour apprendre à peindre comme un enfant "says Picasso (photographed here with Françoise Gilot in a historic photo of Robert Capa). Ninety years played furiously painted yet in full production and erotic (fine in this regard the exhibition "The Secret Collection" a few years ago in Milan, the Fondazione Trussardi). Without taking anything away from this great artistic genius, I still think in terms of creativity and beauty first place always it is up to Mother Nature.
