Scenic aerial view of Lake Como shoreline with luxury villas and boats dotting the emerald waters in Italy.

A striking sculptural concept shaped the day — unexpected installations made from green beans, cabbage, zucchinis, and other organic elements. A modern reinterpretation of florals, monochromatic and architectural, adding a bold contemporary edge to the villa’s historic charm. Paired with a curated Italian pastries table, the design created a quiet dialogue between the unexpected and the timeless.


On the grounds of Casa Vittoria, this contrast came to life. Reflective, modern forms set against warm stone, classical lines, and the soft patina of Lake Como. The space held everything — the romance, the tension, the art — giving every frame that feeling of something both new and deeply rooted. Irina and Andrea moved through it all with ease, their portraits shifting between clean, fashion-forward and intimate moments.


All day, a light rain drifted in and out. And then, almost miraculously, it cleared the moment we stepped onto the lake. Drifting across the water as the mountains stretched around us, the soft movement and atmospheric evening light created an ethereal final note — a sculptural, modern celebration woven into the soul of Como’s enduring old-world beauty.
