Photographer's Note
This is a medicean villa in Artimino in Tuscany, the villa is now property of a private Society that accommodates conventions, ceremonies, conferences etc.
It’s called also “one hundred chimneys'villa” because of the series of chimneys of intentionally diversified shapes.
Post processing: cropped, contrasted, saturated (I hope not too much!) and I’ve changed a little the perspective.

Bellissima villa, mi piace il "pattern" dei comignoli e la simmetria delle finestre. Grande lavoro di PS come al solito.
Ciao
P.S. Vedo che hai un feeling particolare con la Toscana

Nice to see a new posting from you, Alessandra :-) All those different chimneys up on the roof are quite unique, they seem to make up a whole "landscape" of their own. But the rest of the building and the site is really great, too, with the walkway and stairs and stone wall in front leading the view towards the villa. Definitely looks like a fine place to spend time, even if only for a conference. I think your work on contrast and saturation turned out really well!

Hi alessandra,
I like the windows simetry, and the architecture.
Well done

Wow you picked a difficult subject here Alessandro, that white stucco has pushed it a touch under exposed and as a result the nice curved hedge at the bottom is a wee bit heavy.
That said the shot is full of discordant repetitions (the chimneys, the hedge, the stones in the middle wall) restrained by the exact repetition of the facade itself and these elements work very well together so that the shot is full of interest but not busy.
Nice shot

This is a very interesting building. Not only do the different chimneys give it a random look but their placement seems random, also, giving us a view to the layout inside. I like this strong presence of the villa, too. High on these terraces which have great texture. The color and contrast are very nice. The building itself has a great feel of age to it. Very nicely done.

Excellent composition, I like the strong contrast and color, good light to.
I wonder what all the things are doing on the roof?, it is very speciel IMΨ.
