Villa Italia
A warm welcome to the House of Guadagnino, clothing optional
We’re in Luca Guadagnino’s country house, which is undergoing a meticulous renovation. Several men are invited to pose. Some of them are Luca’s friends or colleagues; others are people he simply thinks look fabulous. They are photographed both alone and in groups. Some keep their clothes on; many do not. Together they form a sharp study of the modern Italian male.
