As a child, you surely you happened to do this: grab a seashell and hold it to your ear, close your eyes and enjoy the echo of the tide trapped inside that odd shape. Human connection with the sea is so intimate and primitive that before leaving, fishermen felt the need to touch the water, deeply inhale, hold their hands in prayer and trust this way in the waves.
That's the magic you can feel in a place I discovered end of June, starting from Milan in the direction of Portofino. Its name is Aqua Finae. The address is on the left of Liguria's most famous square, where the eye gets lots into the sea in calata Marconi, 45.

Magia Naturale: il parco della Reggia di Caserta

| Bagno di Venere |
Certo la Reggia è famosa per le scalinate e i fastosi saloni ed è stata anche usata come set cinematografico. Meno spesso si parla invece dell'importanza dei suoi giardini creati in pieno settecento, quando la curiosità dei botanisti e le pruderie dell'esotismo coloniale solleticavano la fantasia dell'occidente con specie endemiche provenienti dalle Indie d'oriente e d'occidente. Nascono così il Giardino Inglese e il Bosco Vecchio della Reggia.
Natural Magic: the gardens of Caserta Royal Palace

Of course the Royal Palace is pretty famous for its sumptuous staircases and halls which have also been portrayed in various movies. Less often people have heard about the importance of its gardens built in the middle of the XVIII century while the curiosity of botanists and the cravings of colonial exoticism teased the fantasies of the West with endemic species coming from Eastern and Western Indies. That's how the English Garden and the Old Wood of the Palace were born.
