Belvedere San Costabile lay a short distance away from the beautiful little beach town of Santa Maria where we shot the American Apparel bikini post. I was curious to see the coastline from the tippy-top and 3o minutes later my wish was a reality. There was an overwhelming calmness all around. The pictures almost seem to capture the serenity that blanketed the castle walls and corridors. The sound of birds and occasional whisper of wind through the trees was the only thing that could be heard. I wandered up and down the small, empty cobblestoned pathways that connected humble homes with churches and randomly placed restaurants, only to feel like I was the only person left in the world. It was a feeling of peace that I had been longing for since my rendezvous with the bustling Venice canals just days before.
