Famous for its many mythological statues and sculptures, fountains and obelisks, niches and water features, Villa Buonaccorsi’s overall structure dates back to the 18th century, with five terraces on the hillside crossed by laurel hedges, fishponds and geometric flowerbeds that look like colorful diamonds and stars.
The “secret garden” on the highest terrace – with its central fountain representing the Garden of Eden, from which the four Biblical rivers flow – as well as many numeric and geometric symmetries seem to suggest a knowledge of Ferrari’s most famous work, “De Florum cultura Libri IV”, first published in 1633 and part of the Counts Buonaccorsi’s library.”
In addition to the beautiful venue, Catia Sposarti also put together some of the best vendors Italy has to offer for our editorial shoot. I had so much fun on this shoot, I almost didn’t want it to end! We shot from 9AM until 8PM. Definitely the longest editorial I’ve ever been part of, but totally worth it. Here’s part 1 of the shoot that focused on the interior of the Villa. Beautiful gown was provided by Claire Pettibone. See below for full vendor credit.
