Lakewood Ranch resident Mary Ann Cricchio loves all things Italian. "I visited the Uffizi, and I just found myself staying in the Leonardo da Vinci room and was really captured by the emotion in the painting the ’Annunciation.' I wanted that recreated on the ceiling of my great room," explained Cricchio.
As the owner of Da Mimmo Tours, she spends half of her year in Italy and used those contacts to find an artist who not only had the experience to paint such a work of art on her ceiling, but the artistic background and creative ability to do it well.
