Italy (Ventimiglia) is a 1895 oil by Jan Ciągliński, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a body of water, possibly a sea or lake, in the foreground. The water's edge is lined with a sandy beach, and in the distance, a mountain range rises under a hazy sky.
