From a magical winter afternoon on the Isle of Capri near Naples, Italy. It was our last day in the area, and we only had a few hours on Capri. When we reached the summit to see Villa Jovis, home to the ancient Roman Emperors, it was closed, but through the kindness of a local, we got in anyway. / This view must be why emperors of ancient Roma built palaces here, and I know it’s why this will not be the last time I see Capri.

Corio Villa, Geelong, Austalia My own photography from a trip to Geelong with my magic added. A single-storey prefabricated iron house designed by Bell & Miller, architects and engineers, manufactured in Edinburgh, Scotland by Charles D. Young & Co. and assembled in Australia by Alfred Douglass in 1856. / Soon after its production and shipping to Geelong the factory and all the moulds were destroyed by fire, thus ensuring ‘Corio Villa’s’ uniqueness / in Australia. The crates arrived at the Cunningham pier, Geelong in 1855 with apparently no indication of a name of the consignee. Later it was discovered that William Nairn Gray, Commissioner of Crown Lands, Portland district had originally ordered the house, but had died before the crates arrived unclaimed. Alfred Douglas, who had a successful wool washing business in Geelong purchased the relics from the Port Authority for a small sum. / The heavy cast iron pieces were hauled up the Eastern Beach hill and assembled on its present site overlooking Corio Bay. The walls are prefabricated from ½” cast iron boiler plate. The sheets 3’ X 3’ were then bolted together to form wall sections complete with window openings. Internal linings are of lath and plaster. Sashes are solid cast iron which slide into wall cavities. Verandah posts and porch supports are cast in the most delicate filigree patterns. Most of the decorative work echoes the pattern of the rose, and the thistle of Scotland. There are classic vases of delightful proportions which serve as decorative flower pots on the sun porches and about the house. The lion’s head motif is repeated as a “keystone” to each arch / in verandahs and porches and strikes a note of kingly grandeur. / Barge boards are likewise of cast iron delicately patterned in fretwork. The overall composition is formal yet delicate, comprising a main entrance porch leading into a hall on either side of which are gabled roofed parallel wings flanked by filigree verandahs. Overall, the craftsmanship is of a remarkably high standard. Historically ‘Corio Villa’ is of considerable interest, it is an increasingly rare example of a Victorian gold rush era. Architecturally its significance is incalculable as ‘Corio Villa’ is by far the most ornate and splendid prefabricated house in Australia and possibly the world

Taken at Villa Taranto – Lake Maggiore The Gardens of Villa Taranto / “A beautiful garden does not need to be big, but it should be the realization of one’s dream, even though it is only a couple of square metres large and it is situated on a balcony”. So explained Captain Neil Mc Eacharn, the man who created these marvellous gardens. Many thousands of plants, brought from the far corners of the world, and rare collections, some of them unique in Europe and acclimatized after long laborious efforts, have been arranged with art in this beautiful setting, between the mountains and the lake. / In facts, back in 1931 the Scottish Captain decided to buy the estate called “La Crocetta” from the Marquise of Sant’Elia to transform it into a specimen of English Garden, situated in a strip of Italy which could remind him of his native Scotland, though it has more softness and wealth of tones. This work had to meet two basic requirements: the aesthetical and the botanical one. Botanical exigencies, as the different vegetations had to find the most ideal conditions of ground and climate. The stages of the creation of the new gardens saw different working stages, until their termination in 1940. / The botanical patrimony of the gardens of Villa Taranto contains nearly 1.000 non autochthonous plants and almost 20.000 genera and varieties of particular botanical importance. / The Villa is not open to the public, since it is used as seat of the Prefecture of the new Province of Verbano- Cusio-Ossola. / Since 1952 the gardens have been open to the public, from April to October, and the constantly rising number of visitors has now reached over 150.000 per year.
