Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Agatha Page: A Parable In charming verse, one hundred years ago, the poet Monti wrote of a villa in the Brianza, - the rich plain which has its beginning between the two arms of the Lake of Como. The villa lay upon the table-land above the town of Erba, and was now (in the year of grace eighteen hundred and seventy eight) the property of the Duke Faviola of Rome, who occupied it with his wife and young daughter during the summer months. Like most Italian villas, the house was of stucco painted white, and its lines were symmetrical and stiff; but the grounds were beautiful, and as worthy as ever of a poet´s transport, the mellow sunshine melting flower, cropped lawn, and distant landscape into an exquisite mosaic. The Duchess Costanza Faviola was seated in an easy-chair upon the lawn, talking with a man a few years her junior.
