The villa
Built in the 1500s as a country villa, it later became a representative noble residence and was embellished, in the first half of the XVIII century, with an imposing Italian garden, one of the most majestic and harmonious landscape creations today surviving in Italy. The interiors preserve one of the most sophisticated and unitary decorative cycles of the Lombard 1700s, essentially attributable to Varese workshop of Magatti. The body of the villa is flanked by interesting farm buildings, including cattle sheds, stables, cellars, hay lofts and a monumental wine press.

The light of the south
In January I went in the south of France for vacation and to take some shots.
My trip started from Nice -Cote d’Azur and then going around towards south
in Camarge and finally in Montpellier. Monpellier is a strange fashinating town
with a lot of modern architecture thanks to the creations of the spanish architect
Ricardo Bofill.
The shots that most I wanted to take where about nature in Camargue, but coming back home and looking to my shots I noticed that the most interesting subject was the light, that France’s South Light which so much enchanted painters, writers and artists of every age.
So I thought to do a little collection of Black and White shots for exalting this subject ...
I don’t know if I have reached a good result, but I have to admit that .... I have had a lot of fun taking these shots ...
