Description

A Dream of Italy is a landscape full of atmosphere and mystery. Ruins of a Roman aqueduct float across the pink and gray mist of a luminous terrain that seems to whisper with suggestions of historical gravity. Civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind traces of human achievements that are ultimately overwhelmed by the primordial, eternal power of nature.
