Dunnottar Castle, Stonehaven, Scotland

July 27 2022 

We had a lovely visit in Stonehaven, Scotland. The locals were so kind and the chair was very well received. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Stonehaven Harbour was first built around 1607 and has a population of around 11,700. Though no longer a substantial fishing port, it retains much of historic interest.

A breathtakingly beautiful view of Dunnottar Castle in Stonehaven.
A huge thank you to the kind staff at Dunnottar Castle for the opportunity to photograph the chair on this majestic and historic site.
The chair is positioned just outside of the Countess Suite at Dunnottar Castle. You can see the strikingly blue North Sea in the background. If you type these Longitude and latitude coordinates into Google maps,
56.945858,-2.196173 It will take you to the exact spot where this pic was taken. Explore the area.  
The Dunnottar Castle grounds are beautifully well kept. The historic architecture is amazing. If the walls could actually talk, I'm sure they would have plenty of stories to tell. In this pic you can clearly see the blacksmith's area. Note the remains of the giant chimney that was once there. 

VOLANDIA - Parco e Museo del Volo

VOLANDIA - Parco e Museo del Volo 

Everyone that knows me personally, knows that I love aeronautics. Our last stop with the chair was the VOLANDIA - Parco e Museo del Volo (Volandia Park and Flight Museum). Opened in 2010, it's the largest Italian aeronautical museum and displays over 100 aircraft. It has everything a flight enthusiast could enjoy. Although I was just there for a few hours, I could have spent two full days exploring the 645,000 sq ft (60,000 sq m) facility. My absolute favorite part was the hands on flight simulators. The helicopter flight simulator was incredibly authentic and immersive. The only thing missing was the whirling blades overhead and the smell of aviation fuel. My trusty flight instructor, Sergio, was professional, informative and VERY patient with my clumsiness. If you find yourself in the Lombardy region of Italy, this is a must go!

Princess Samantha - Solbiate Arno

👩- Samantha
📍- Solbiate Arno, Italy 🇮🇹
Solbiate Arno è la città natale di Samantha, nata e cresciuta qui, non abitando mai a più di due chilometri di distanza dalla casa della sua infanzia. Il paese di Solbiate Arno, con una popolazione di 4500 abitanti, si trova nel nord Italia nella regione Lombardia. Insieme con la sedia, abbiamo passeggiato per le vie di Solbiate Arno alla ricerca dello sfondo perfetto. Mentre passeggiavamo per il villaggio, ogni singola persona che incontravamo per le strade salutava calorosamente Samantha per nome. Mi sembrava di camminare con una celebrità, una specie di reale locale, Samantha Principessa di Solbiate Arno.
La sedia trasmette un messaggio di luce e speranza. Informati e diventa donatore di cellule staminali. Per i miei amici qui in Italia, contattate ADMO.

Solbiate Arno is Samantha's hometown, born and raised, never living more than two kilometers away from her childhood home. The small town of Solbiate Arno, with a population of 4500, is located in northern Italy in the Lombardy region. Together, with the chair, we walked through the streets of Solbiate Arno in search of the perfect backdrop. As we strolled through the tiny town, every single person we passed in the streets warmly greeted Samantha by name. I felt like I was walking with a celebrity, a local royal of sorts, Samantha Princess of Solbiate Arno.

Everyone in Solbiate Arno knows the location of this famous snail. The location is called Piazza Della Lumaca, which translates to The Snail Square.

Roberta - Chiesa Di Sant'Elia

👩- Roberta
📍- Chiesa di Sant'Elia, Viggiu, Italy 🇮🇹

Questa posizione è molto speciale per Roberta. Da neo-mamma veniva a passeggiare sui sentieri del bosco che circonda la chiesa trovando pace e serenità. Per questo ha scelto la chiesa come location del suo servizio fotografico con la sedia.
La chiesa si trova su una collina boscosa nel piccolo villaggio di Viggiu, in Italia.  Questa struttura fu costruita nel XVI secolo sopra un antico monastero che risale al 1095. Dell'antico monastero oggi non rimane alcuna testimonianza.  Nel 1504 la chiesa divenne meta di pellegrinaggio da molti villaggi circostanti.
Nel 1965 un fulmine colpì il campanile, facendolo cadere a terra.  Fu ricostruita nei primi anni '70.

This location is very special for Roberta. As a new mother she would go for walks on the trails in the woods surrounding the church, finding peace and serenity. This is why she chose the church as the location for his photo shoot with the chair.
The church is located on a wooded hill in the small village of Viggiu, Italy. This structure was built in the 16th century on top of an ancient monastery which dates back to 1095. Today no evidence remains of the ancient monastery. In 1504 the church became a pilgrimage destination from many surrounding villages.
In 1965, lightning struck the bell tower, causing it to fall to the ground. It was rebuilt in the early 1970s.

📍 - Ex Grand Hotel Prealpi, Viggiu, Italy

Abbiamo avuto un photoshoot avventuroso all'ex Grand Hotel Prealpi, un quattro stelle costruito nel 1912 e ora in rovina. Questo edificio fu usato come ospedale militare durante le due Guerre Mondiali. Alla fine della Seconda Guerra, diventò un orfanotrofio per bambini che avevano perso i genitori durante la guerra e continuò ad essere un orfanotrofio fino agli anni '80.

We had an adventurous photoshoot at the dilapidated ex Grand Hotel Prealpi, a four star hotel that was built in 1912. This building served as a military hospital for WWI and WWII. After WWII it became an orphanage for children that lost their parents in the war and continued to be an orphanage until the 80's.
