48. PICNIC DEI LAMBTON IN CORNICE CHIGI<br />

Quando Lord Lambton stabilì il suo Sans Souci<br />

all’estero, scelse l’elegante seicentesco casino<br />

di caccia e parco costruiti e sistemati dai Chigi,<br />

famiglia del papa Alessandro VII, a Cetinale,<br />

vicino a Siena. Nel tempo libero dal suo scrivere<br />

storia e racconti, si adopera per elaborare<br />

i giardini e il parco barocco conosciuto come la<br />

Tebaide.<br />

Padrone di casa generoso, la villa grandiosa<br />

che ha sistemato ospita una successione<br />

costante di visitatori. Un passatempo tradizionale<br />

della casa è di fare il picnic nel parco. Qui<br />

la comitiva conviviale include Tony e Ned<br />

Lambton, Claire, Alexander e Tracy Ward, e<br />

Sapo Matteucci.<br />

LAMBTON PICNIC IN CHIGI SETTING<br />

When Lord Lambton established his sansouci<br />

abroad, he chose the elegant seventeenth-century<br />

hunting lodge and grounds built and arranged by<br />

the Chigi, the family of Pope Alexander VII, at<br />

Cetinale, near Siena. In time off from writing his<br />

distinctive histories and stories, he turns his<br />

hand to elaborating the gardens and baroque<br />

park known as the Tebaide.<br />

A generous host, the grand villa he has created<br />

houses a constant succession of guests. A<br />

traditional pastime of the household is picnicking<br />

in the grounds. Here the convivial p<strong>art</strong>y includes<br />

Tony and Ned Lambton, Claire, Alexander and<br />

Tracy Ward, and Sapo Matteucci.<br />

Cetinale, 1979
