An idyllic place for a story full of poetry. Baita Segantini was built in 1936 by the artist Alfredo Paluselli, who lived here in solitude for 35 years. It all began in Bellamonte, an old tabià inspired the young and daring Alfredo who decided to dismantle that old barn to take it to the place where he would live as a hermit, between climbing the most impervious peaks of the Dolomites and poems that blossomed while listening to the sound of the wind.

    Photography Notes

    The hut sits on an open meadow with clear separation between foreground, midground, and background. Wide-angle lenses work well at sunrise when light hits the Pale di San Martino peaks, while longer focal lengths help isolate the hut against cloud movement and layered ridgelines. Light changes rapidly, making multiple compositions possible within a short time.
