Among the favorite places of landscape painters already at the time of the Grand Tour lake Albano - with its surroundings, la grande alberata del Convento dei Cappuccini and the rise to Monte Cavo - is portrayed here live from Ettore Ferrari who chooses the wide, liquid, purple view of the lake in the background, anchoring it to an element in the foreground, a stone pillar that supports a wooden tub surrounded by copper with a flowering geranium. The pillar delimits the view indicating the point of view of the artist, top of the lake, along the road leading to Castelgandolfo e continues for Albano. Is clearly visible the crown of ancient oaks that until a few decades ago surrounded the top of the mountain, gradually eliminated to make room for the repeaters and antennas that replaced it.
