la Foce
La Foce is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever photographed. This estate itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site. In 1924, Antonio and Iris Origo transformed the Villa into a thriving farming center, marking a pivotal chapter in its history. Iris Origo, a renowned Anglo-American biographer and historian, vividly recounts the remarkable yet challenging years at La Foce in her autobiographical books, “Images and Shadows” and “War in Val d’Orcia.”
