Tender is the Light is the first photographic
essay of its kind dedicated exclusively to the
Villa d'Este, the world-renowned retreat that
has inspired notables from Stendhal to
Caroline of Brunswick, from Shelley to Caen.
This exquisitely printed and impeccably bound
book celebrates the many qualities of the
Villa d'Este with a series of over 40 lovingly
selected images in keeping with the Genivs Loci
philosophy: to capture the spirit and soul
of the place. Gra's photographs convey the full
impact of this property's legendary aura, adding
yet another dimension to the Villa d'Este story
and to the romantic landscape of Lake Como.
In addition, readers can enjoy the preface
written by Alastair McEwen and a comprehensive
introduction by Geoffrey Burpee.
