And the winner of this months Owner’s photo competition once again goes to David Cooper, from Ottawa, Canada.
We have named David’s image The beast.
Most of our owners and guests have seen the families of wild-boar that pass through Vagli at dusk, searching below the trees for fallen fruit or nuts and foraging wherever there’s a hint of something worthy of exploring, but David bumped into this magnificent beast on what he calls “wild-boar alley”, basically a small section along our unpaved road. The captivating autumn colours beautifully frame this 120 kilo male. Please email me directly for Dina’s wild-boar sauce recipe.
Each month one high-resolution photo will be chosen and circulated electronically; from now on the winner will fittingly be presented with a copy of the renowned American photographer Leonard Freed’s photo book IO AMO L’ITALIA. Freed’s exhibition Io amo L’italia was held during 2012 in Milan, Rome and Turin and well supported by both critics and the general public. Leonard Freed once referred to his relationship with Italy as a “love story”. This passion reaches back a long way, beyond his career in photography, to his first interest in the medium, which began on his initial trip to Europe in 1952.
