Rita Crane Photography: View of Villa Carlotta Entrance, Lake Como
Blue Lake Como, so peaceful and refreshing. The little cherub's splashing fountain going day and night, welcoming all.
This was quite a setting. (Photo taken at noon, on a nippy March day.)
[This was the entrance to the gardens and villa, right on the lake. The place was built for Carlotta who, sadly, lived here only 5 years and died very young. The decor was delicate and feminine, but to me there was a certain pathos about the place seeing as how it had been inhabited so little.....it could have been a fabulous family home for generations one would think......
The gardens were a pleasure despite there being little in bloom as it was early March. Winter sun, low in the sky, brightened everything up creating strong shadows at midday.
Now it is thousands of visitors who have the pleasure of seeing the artistry of this spacious villa on a magical lake. The little cherub welcomes everyone equally with his cheerful splashing fountain that sparkles in the light. Indeed lovely!]
