"Prima Porta" features an entrance into the Giardino Giusti in Verona. The giardino, in typical Renaissance style, was created at the end of the 15th Century as the backdrop for the Giusti Palace. It was the home of Agostino Giusti, Knight of the Venitian Republic.
Off a busy street of Verona, the giardino is a lush, very green and peaceful oasis. With the right light, it is a photographer's paradise. Mythological statues line the paths along with tall, graceful cypress trees.
On our last visit to Verona, we spent a lot of time in the giardino, returning at different times to experience how the sunlight would touch it. Early morning, before the sun was warm was our favorite time of day.

Nice picture of the statue. It must be enjoyable being able to go back to Italy and really spend more time enjoying the regions.
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the note. We do enjoy focusing on each Italian region, one at a time, when we are shooting in Italy. We like to learn what is unique about each locality, soak in its culture by spending a few days with the locals and then try to capture its essense in our images.
Best Regards,
Craig and Jane
