What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a mid 20th century italian painting, signed Ruffo. There is no biographical information on the artist available. It must have been an accomplished artist who specialized in coastal mediterranean motis. Similar paintings by this artist were sold at auctions. The estimate is based on these results. There is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to it.

Thank you so very much! The painting is even more beautiful in person. You are right, this one is worth more in sentimental value so I will keep it. I inherited several pieces of art I have no idea of origin, so I will be posting more for appraisals soon! So glad I found this site to assist me. Thank you again!
