The light given off by Lake Como in the early summer is unique; the play of sun and shadow between mountain and lake has provided artistic vision to countless Italian artists, photographers and directors – indeed, Luchino Visconti spent his summers in Cernobbio. Classic Driver's Creative Director Jan Baedeker has now followed suit, and shares his monochromatic impressions of Villa d'Este 2014 in our large gallery.
