拍品专文

Le Baron Perché (The Baron in the Trees) finds its inspiration in a novel written by Italo Calvino. This satire of eighteenth century life tells the story of Cosimo, a young Italian nobleman who rebels against parental authority by climbing into trees and remaining there for the rest of his life.
