Parco mediceo di Pratolino (Villa Demidoff)
Camera: K-01 Photo Location: Florence, Italy 
Posted By: LensBeginner, 06-24-2018, 01:25 AM

This is a hop, a skip and a jump from Florence, and it's the huge park of a Medici Villa, which doesn't exist anymore.
The stables were later transformed in a Villa in its own right by the Demidoff family.

Russian swirliness, kinda appropriate since the Demidoffs were actually Russian.

An intense gaze, that the years of exposure haven't managed to water down.

Thank you all!
Not much travel here, 30' driving tops. Tuscany is a beautiful place.
