His particular focus was on preserving privacy and at the same time harmonising with the wonderful landscape that surrounds it.Through the arrangement of windows and openings, Angonese has created perspectives that in themselves amount to an artistic intervention.His congenial partner in this interplay of colour and form was the artist Manfred Alois Mayr, who designed a unique colour concept that gives the villa its unmistakable character.The oxide red of the steep rock faces of the Mendel Mountains gives the plasterwork a hint of Andalusian sunshine, while lime white, sulphur yellow and vine black are reminiscent of the local viticulture and noble ultramarine blue and gold bear witness to the villa's aristocratic origins and extravagant past.The result of their interplay, embedded in a lovely landscape and surrounded by magnificent residences, vineyards and sacred buildings, is a small Garden of Eden that makes you say: "This is where I want to be, this is where I want to stay."ENVIRONMENTVilla Baronessina is located on the edge of the historic centre of the wine village of Kaltern am See.
