2020 Photo Challenge – La Sfida Fotografica

We visited this place years ago. What you see is the protected cruiser Puglia jutting out of one of the hilltops. It was placed there with it’s bow pointing in the direction of the Adriatic sea ready to conquest the Dalmation shores. When we’ll all be free to leave our homes and travel once again, The Vittoriale degli Italiani should be included on your itinerary. The Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio lived here. It’s situated on a hillside estate in the town of Gardone Riviera overlooking the Garda Lake.

Ho scattato questa foto anni fa. Quello che vedete è la nave militare Puglia. Quando tutti noi saremo liberi di viaggiare, consiglio di visitare Il Vittoriale degli Italiani sul Lago di Garda. Villa del poeta Gabriele d’Annunzio.

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love for writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills. View all posts by eleanorannpeterson
