Hello Friends!
I just want to share with you the beauties of the italian countryside.

Near Florence opposite the ancient village Artimino stands the imposing structure of Medici Villa "La Ferdinanda" also known as the "Villa of the hundred chimneys".
It was build by Grand Duke Ferdinando I on the top of the hill that dominates the horizon all the way to Florence, at the center of his Barco Reale hunting preserve and as a symbol of the possessions of the Medici.
The project was assigned to the architect Bernardo Buontalenti who completed the villa in early in the 16th century.
To one side of the villa the elegant Medici stable completes a complex of great prestige, now converted into hotel and the site of important ceremonies and conferences.

Have a great day!

Hello Jitka, I love the way you photographed this Villa in Tuscany. You really caught the essence of that Italian region. Well done ! Thanks !

Hello Jitka,
really a superb photography with the perfume of Italy. The olive-trees in the first-plan and this sumptuous villa with the background with the sky strewn with small clouds, it is very beautiful.
TFS, heartily,

What a beautiful countryside - well seen and captured Jitka. And look at all those chimneys - I wonder do they all work!! The hill must be covered in smoke when they are all lit:)))
