Porto Rotondo captures the Mediterranean's most coveted anchorage from a breathtaking aerial perspective, revealing dozens of vessels at rest. Slim Aarons witnessed this remarkable July 1990 scene where thirty-five to forty yachts and motorboats scatter across Sardinia's pristine horseshoe-shaped cove. The mirror-like waters transition from brilliant turquoise in the protected shallows to deep navy blue where larger vessels find anchor. A perfect crescent of white sand curves gracefully along the shore while rugged brown cliffs frame this exclusive Costa Smeralda sanctuary, Mediterranean vegetation dotting the sun-baked slopes.

This remarkable aerial vantage point introduces new perspectives on coastal luxury in your own elegant space. The photograph reveals boats clustering densely near the sandy beach then fanning naturally outward in an organic pattern across the transparent waters. Underwater rock formations appear clearly through the pristine Mediterranean surface while tiny figures enjoy the protected cove's inviting embrace. Everyone will recognize Porto Rotondo's magnetic allure, inspiring conversations about Italian adventures and yacht culture. Porto Rotondo elevates your interior with authentic glimpses of exclusive Mediterranean life.

Slim Aarons preserved this quintessential moment at the absolute height of Italian luxury tourism when Costa Smeralda rivaled the French Riviera. The image brilliantly captures the democratic elegance of aerial photography where every vessel, from modest motorboat to grand yacht, appears equal in the spectacular frame. Your acquisition of this iconic photograph positions you among discerning collectors who appreciate both Sardinia's unspoiled natural beauty and discerning leisure culture. This remarkable piece connects your home to Mediterranean glamour.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches — what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
