Description
Belvedere Pool defies gravity on the Amalfi Coast, where Italian engineers carved paradise directly into a limestone cliff face at this legendary hotel in Conca dei Marini, August 1984. This architectural audacity places a seawater pool suspended high above the Mediterranean, its cobalt depths merging seamlessly with the horizon line where yellow loungers await absent guests. The private lift that descends through solid rock to reach this elevated perch speaks to an era when luxury meant conquering geography itself, transforming vertical stone cliffs into horizontal spaces designed purely for pleasure and relaxation.
Your walls gain Italian bravado with this striking photograph, introducing the kind of spatial drama that makes dinner guests pause their conversations mid-sentence to study the view. Belvedere Pool brings cliff-carved sophistication to contemporary interiors, whether anchoring a minimalist living room with its bold geometry or commanding attention from a master bedroom suite wall above carefully chosen furniture. The image delivers that rare psychological luxury of owning exclusive altitude, as if you have personally commissioned this dramatic swimming pool for your own private contemplation each morning.
Few photographs capture both engineering triumph and peaceful solitude with such perfect clarity and composition. Slim Aarons recognized this pool as more than leisure architecture, understanding it represented Italian postwar confidence literally chiseled into rock. Slim Aarons photographed this empty moment with deliberate intention, allowing viewers to mentally possess the entire dramatic scene, claiming every sun-warmed tile and salt-kissed breeze as their personal domain.
Available in photo lustre or matte finish, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood to complement your décor perfectly. Secure this vertical sanctuary before another discerning collector recognizes its spectacular power to transform ordinary walls into extraordinary windows onto unrivaled coastal luxury.
