Italy

Italy — From the Cinque Terre to Venice, cities facing the water

A journey through suspended villages, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, Lake Como, and Venetian light.

Villages on the edge of the void

In the Cinque Terre and on the Amalfi Coast, houses seem perched between rock and sea. Paths, stairs, and terraces form a vertical geography where every opening looks out onto the blue.

Water as a common thread

From Lake Como to the canals of Venice, the journey changes pace but keeps the same reflection. Florence brings stone, domes, and perspective; elsewhere, gardens and facades mirror each other in the water.

This selection favors lines, viewpoints, and late afternoon lights: an Italy observed as a succession of inhabited landscapes, more intimate than monumental.
