Description

Speedboat Landing captures Mediterranean luxury from directly above, as a gleaming white motor yacht arrives at Il Pellicano Hotel's weathered wooden jetty. Count Theodoli's magnificent Magnum speedboat, spanning thirty to forty feet with curved windscreen, creates dramatic perpendicular lines against the rectangular dock below. Four figures orchestrate this elegant arrival: a woman in dark bikini stands on the bow, two companions control the vessel from cushioned seats, while a fourth waits on sun-bleached planks. Slim Aarons immortalized this August 1973 afternoon as pure aerial artistry, where ocean blue waters contrast against brilliant white fiberglass.

Your discerning admirers will instantly recognize this iconic perspective that defined Porto Ercole's glory days when it served as the summer meeting place for international society. The extraordinary bird's-eye view infuses your living space with authentic Italian Riviera glamour, sparking conversations about both artistic vision and coveted destinations. Speedboat Landing positions you among collectors who appreciate the perfect geometry of yacht, jetty, and radiant Mediterranean waters.

This photograph immortalizes when Il Pellicano welcomed European nobility and film stars to Monte Argentario, the rocky coastline visible at the platform's edge. Slim Aarons documents this rarefied world with unmatched access, capturing the rope line taut between boat and dock. This remarkable visual narrative shifts any room into a curated gallery that elevates your personal style and announces your discerning taste for authentic luxury photography.
