Como is home to some of the most stunning villas in Italy, but none are quite as famous as Villa del Balbianello. This historic villa has played a starring role in blockbuster movies such as Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and James Bond - Casino Royale. It's no wonder that it's a top choice for weddings and events, as well as a popular tourist destination.
As a wedding photographer, I've had the pleasure of working at Villa del Balbianello numerous times, and I can attest to its charm and beauty. The villa's picturesque surroundings and stunning architecture make it the perfect backdrop for any special occasion.
Recently, I had the opportunity to arrive at the villa early and take some photos of the area. I was thrilled to be able to capture the beauty of this magnificent villa in a more intimate way. Although most of the images were taken on Kodak Portra 800 (35 mm) film, which isn't as sharp and contains some grain, I hope they still give you a sense of the villa's timeless elegance.
If you're planning a trip to Como, I highly recommend adding Villa del Balbianello to your itinerary. You won't be disappointed by its stunning views, lush gardens, and rich history. And if you're looking for a wedding or event venue, this villa is sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
