Montecristo \u00e8 l’isola pi\u00f9 selvaggia e inospitale dell’arcipelago Toscano. Con la sua caratteristica forma piramidale di granito grigio-rosa, vista dal mare sembra una fortezza inespugnabile. Le sue ripide coste sono praticamente inaccessibili, con l’esclusione di Cala Maestra, ad occidente. Proprio a Cala Maestra si trova l’unico edificio ancora stante, la Villa Reale. Essa fu costruita nella met\u00e0 del XIX secolo da un ricco inglese, Lord Watson Taylor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Montecristo is the wildest and most inhospitable island in the Tuscan archipelago. With its characteristic pyramidal shape of pink-greyish granite, from the sea the island seems like an impregnable fortress. Its steep coastlines are practically inaccessible, with the exception of Cala Maestra, in the west. There, in Cala Maestra, you can find the only building that still stands, the Royal Villa. It was built in the mid 19th century by a rich Englishman, Lord Watson Taylor.<\/p>\n

Montecristo \u00e8 un paradiso naturalistico, con fauna e flora rara, ora protetta. Infatti l’isola \u00e8 disabitata, e sono consentiti solo degli sbarchi giornalieri per un totale di 1000 presenze all’anno. I visitatori autorizzati sono sopratutto scienziati: biologi e geologi. Tuttavia i marinai che la notte si trovano a navigare davanti a Cala Maestra giurano di vedere delle luci dentro alla villa disabitata.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Montecristo is a natural paradise, with rare flora and fauna, which are now protected. The island is in fact uninhabited, and only daily landings are allowed for up to a total of a thousand people a year. The authorized visitors are mostly scientists: biologists and geologists. However, the sailors who find themselves navigating past Cala Maestra at night swear that they see lights inside the uninhabited villa.<\/p>\n

Da qui \u00e8 nata la leggenda secondo cui Lord Taylor, che in Inghilterra aveva moglie e figli, si fosse innamorato di una bellissima ragazza del luogo, che teneva segregata sull’isola. Un giorno Lord Taylor part\u00ec per la sua annuale visita alla famiglia in Inghilterra, e da l\u00ec non fece pi\u00f9 ritorno. Secondo voci non confermate, Lord Taylor venne avvelenato dalla moglie e dai figli legittimi per paura di perdere l’eredit\u00e0. La giovane amante lo aspett\u00f2 per anni, passando ore in cima ad uno scoglio a scrutare il mare, mentre di notte vagava addolorata per la casa. Ancora adesso quando fa buio il suo fantasma si aggirerebbe per la casa con una lanterna in mano in cerca dell’amato Lord.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From this the legend grew that Lord Taylor, who had a wife and children in England, had fallen in love with a beautiful local girl, whom he kept confined on the island. One day Lord Taylor departed for his annual visit to his family in England and never returned again. According to unconfirmed rumours, Lord Taylor was poisoned by his wife and legitimate children who were worried that they would loose their inheritance. His young mistress waited for him for years, spending hours on the top of a rock scanning the sea, whilst at night she wandered mournfully around the house. Even now when it’s dark her ghost is said to walk around the house with a lantern in her hand looking for her beloved Lord.<\/p>\n

La realt\u00e0 \u00e8 che alcuni anni fa una ricca vedova, la Contessa Mafalda Castragalli de Capponi, acquist\u00f2 segretamente la Villa Reale. Mafalda Castragalli e il Cavalier Brambilla, un multimilionario uomo d’affari milanese, si erano sposati non per amore ma per interesse: l’anziano Cavalier Brambilla infatti aveva molti soldi e molta ambizione, ma nessun titolo n\u00e9 aggancio nella societ\u00e0 bene milanese. La giovanissima e bella Contessa,\u00a0da parte sua, aveva un titolo nobiliare importante, ma nessuna dote, perch\u00e9 il patrimonio era stato dilapidato dal padre al tavolo del casin\u00f2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reality, the Royal Villa was secretly bought a few years ago by a rich widow, the Countess Mafalda Castragalli de Capponi. Mafalda Castragalli and Cavalier Brambilla, a multimillionaire businessman from Milan, had married not for love but business: the elderly Cavalier Brambilla had, in fact, a lot of money and ambition, but no title nor connections in Milanese high society. The young and beautiful Countess, on the other hand, had an important aristocratic title, but no dowry, because her inheritance had been squandered by her father at the gambling table.<\/p>\n

Dopo quasi vent’anni di matrimonio, il vecchio Cavaliere perse la vita in un tragico incendio, in cui l’ancora giovane e attraente Contessa rimase gravemente sfigurata.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After nearly twenty years of marriage, the old Cavalier lost his life in a tragic fire, in which the still young and attractive Countess was left severely disfigured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
