The Naviglio Grande, a historic canal in Italy's Lombardy region, showcases a blend of industrial and agricultural landscapes, complemented by notable architectural heritage. Cassinetta di Lugagnano stands out for its rich history and beauty, exemplified by the Barlaam family's renovation of Villa Clari-Monzini. Riccardo and his son Simone, a Paralympic champion, cherish their vibrant home with its artistic legacy. Simone finds solace and creativity through drawing during quiet moments, echoing the peace he experiences in his beloved water activities.
"I grew up here, among the frescoed walls and coffered ceilings of the large ballroom that has become our living room, and ever since I was a child I've always felt this house was welcoming."
"When the world shuts down, I find some quiet time to draw. It's something I do for myself, which makes me feel similar to how I do when I'm in the water."
