Villa Pisani through the Rose Garden

There is a moment when walking back from the English garden at Villa Pisani where the worlds collide. Here England fades into the richness of Italy. There are lemon trees and roses, sadly dried by the summer heat, they are none the less beautiful for their trauma. This morning the painting spoke, it said “I am complete, so leave me now, my story starts here; I have places to go and people to meet.” This is the rose garden before the rains come.
