Grand Hotel Villa d'Este - the mosaic - Cernobbio - 1910

The photograph shows the mosaic in the gardens of Villa d'Este made by Albertolli Giocondo. The garden has partially lost the setting sixteenth century; remains as testimony to the famous nymph, decorated in polychrome mosaic with pebbles, which has the scenic grandeur of the Roman Baroque: is the entrance and from the base to the double chain of water that runs through the perspective to the statue of Hercules and Lica.

The original photographic negative  work on glass plate is part of the Historical photo Vasconi of Cernobbio, and has been reproduced digitally restored from the impurities of the time, the studio photo "iVasconi" Piero Vasconi.
