Emerald Goddess

Saved from the scourges of war, a glorious Italian biplane rises from the ashes to lead la dolce vita

Tall and dignified, moving with the easy gait of Marcello Mastroianni in a ’60s Frederico Fellini movie, Gerolamo Gavazzi supervises the dock crew. They’re winching down his Caproni seaplane from its lofty perch. Most days, it hangs suspended from the hangar rafters for all to see and admire at Aero Club Como, one of the most celebrated seaplane bases in the world.
