From Myth to Milan: Depth meets a city which answers back

Deep in the Lombardy foothills, Lake Como extends in a long, forked reach pushing towards the Alps, its edges lined with cypress, azalea, and villas draped in wisteria. Light slides across the surface in metallic planes, which drew Giovanni Segantini north. Teak boats cut clean lines across the lake, lacquered and exact. Facades hold their symmetry a little too perfectly, as though under observation.
