Hello my friends, I am pleased to announce the opening of two new locations. Both with different meanings and similar dreams.

                                  miramare 3.PNG.png           

The Castello miramare, built by  Archduke Maximiliano of Habsburg- Lorreine, is one of the most beautiful jewels of the European Romantic period, its clusters of medieval airs, with motifs imitating the Renaissance, and its luxurious gardens that create illusions of woods and splendid baroque gardens.

Imperial Palace of Petrópolis, known as the Brazilian Petit Trianon, was built for leisure away from the equatorial heat of the summers of the city of Rio de Janeiro, surrounded by mountains and milder climate, the small palace of neo classical traits was an ancient dream , Wwhere the court could hide from the sunlit summers and maintain European airs in full America.

What were the dates these were built? I'm particularly intrigued by the grand palaces and cathedrals of the New World.

 The Brazilian summer palace, was built in 1845 and completed in 1865. With the façade of neo classical style, and the gardens having the romantic and nativist landscaping. Castle Miramare in Trieste, was built in 1856, it is already a completely romantic architecture and its gardens follow the same styles.
