Isole di Brissago once again. The swimming pool Max Emden built with carrarian marble in his garden between 1927-1940.
Roman pool ?1930s? but before 1950 (source).
Beauties (German 'Grazien') in corner of garden in 1930 (source).
Roman pool, present day (2010).
Nude in bronze at pool, present day (2019).
I am curious for background information, therefore I ordered three books concerning the last two owners of these islands:
- Daniela Calastri-Winzenried, 'Die Baronessa' (2012).
- Francesco Welti, 'Der Kaufhaus-König und die Schöne im Tessin. Max Emden und die Brissago-Inseln' (2010).
- Ulrich Brömmling, 'Max Emden. Hamburger Kaufmann, Kaufhauserfinder, Ästhet und Mäzen' (2020).
