The Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, Italy, features a remarkable staircase known as the Scala Regia.

This grand staircase connects the prelate’s floor to the apartments of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, who commissioned the palace.

Its design is inspired by Bramante’s spiral staircase at the Vatican’s Palazzo del Belvedere, but what sets the Scala Regia apart are its intricate frescoes created by prominent Mannerist artists of the 16th century, including Antonio Tempesta and the Zuccari brothers

The staircase is not only architecturally significant but also serves as a canvas for artistic expression, depicting mythological themes that reflect the Farnese family’s admiration for ancient art.

The frescoes enhance the staircase’s grandeur and contribute to the overall opulence of the palace, which exemplifies Mannerist architecture

Palazzo Farnese is a stunning Renaissance palace located in Caprarola a small town in the province of Viterbo, north of Rome.

It was originally designed as a fortress in the early 16th century for the Farnese family, one of the most powerful and influential families of the Italian Renaissance.

Later, it was transformed into an elegant palace for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese the grandson of Pope Paul III.

The initial design of the villa was by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (as a fortress), but the project was later taken over by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, who transformed it into a magnificent Renaissance residence.

The building has a pentagonal shape with a central circular courtyard, emphasizing symmetry and balance, hallmarks of Renaissance architecture.

Hotel Tyrol is a boutique family run hotel in
Selva di Val Gardena.

A picturesque village located in the Val Gardena region of the Dolomites, in South Tyrol, northern Italy.

An ideal destination for skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing.

The village is nestled at an altitude of around 1,563 meters (5,128 feet) and is part of the larger Dolomiti Superski area, one of the largest ski circuits in the world.

If you not an avid skier like me the perfect time to visit is September between seasons where you can enjoy the spa, fitness centre and soak up the afternoon sunshine
