In the Chiesa di San Rocco
Summertime art exhibitions
Every summer we ask an artist with connections to Tuscany to do an art exhibition in the small 13th century church of Chiesa di San Rocco. The beautiful little church lies in front of Palazzo Tiglio and is still owned by the parish of San Pancrazio.

Chiesa di San Rocco in front of Palazzo Tiglio
Liselotte Watkins made a name for herself in fashion illustration, collaborating with fashion houses such as Prada, Miu Miu, and Rodebjer, as well as high profile publications including Vogue, The New Yorker, and Elle Magazine. She has now left illustration behind to pursue painting full time and has quickly established herself with a colourful aesthetic that is based on simplicity and precision.
Born in Nyköping, Sweden. She lives and works in Tuscany, Italy. She studied at the Art Institute in Dallas.
In the exhibition "Attorno a me" Watkins explores the cherished things in her surrounding, her beloved books, artworks and daily objects that makes for the foundation of her inspiration.

Villa San Michele, Capri 2019 ,
Millesgråden in Stockholm, Sweden 2021,

Chiesa di San Rocco
Chiesa di San Rocco is the oldest religious building in San Pancrazio built in the 13th century. This still ordained church is owned by the parish of San Pancrazio, that kindly offers it to us for art exhibitions during the summer months.
Art in summertime
The summer of 2023 will be the third summer of art exhibitions organised by Palazzo Tiglio. Previous years exhibitions by renowned dutch sculptor and artist Jeroen Henneman, part time resident in San Pancrazio with studio here, have been a great success with good visitor numbers and reviews!
