Photography made by Giancarlo in 1981 - Italy with his manual camera Canon F1 (the original shot was a slide) No postwork, only framed with Photoshop 7 Another photography of the serie of Giancarlo made in the "Bosco Fontana". Surface of 230 hectares. A complex forest very well conserved, made in a mixed of several latifoglie. It represents a property left at death one of the ancient vegetation of the Plain of the Po river, residual of a park that the Gonzaga, Lords of Mantova, had begun to form towards the end of XIV century. Around of the year 1500, the forest extended from Goito until Marmirolo and Soave, occupying approximately 2000 hectares of surface. Sadly devastated from the wars, during which it was an object of vandalistic destructions, after a long series of deforestation for the reduction to agrarian cultivation. It was declared inalienable in 1871, step in 1910 to the patrimony of the company of state for the state property forests. Thank you for all your kinds comments on the first shot of the serie, of Giancarlo posted yesterday : "Bosco Fontana 1" Have a wonderful week-end my friends !!!
