    In the morning mist of the countryside, amongst olive trees, Mediterranean pines and tall cypresses we will take advantage of the Golden Hour to shoot photos of the well preserved ancient ruins immersed in the vast park that once was the luxurious villa of the famous Roman emperor Hadrian. In a sort of out of time atmosphere, we will photograph the fantastic swimming pools, buildings, baths, fountains, temples and even a theatre still witnessing the greatness of ancient Rome in terms of architecture, landscaping, and engineering.

    Then, making a jump in time of about fifteen hundred years (the Hadrian villa was built around 120 a.C. while Villa d'Este works started around 1560) we will proceed to Villa d'Este. Here the photography setting will be completely different, but not less amazing and fascinating than the one of the morning tour. In fact Villa d’Este rooms and ceilings are all adorned by beautiful frescos and painting. From the elegant interiors, we will then go visit the famous lush Italian Garden surrounding the Baroque building to photograph the many fountains, the beautiful grottos, and the manicured park.
