Did you know Latvia has a surprising connection to Netflix’s series “The Leopard”? 🐆 🇱🇻
⠀
The series is based on the classic novel “Il Gattopardo” by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Not only the author had Baltic German roots through his mother - he also married in Latvia in 1932 and often visited his wife at the majestic Stomersee estate - today’s Stāmeriena Palace. 🏰
⠀
The tranquil Latvian landscapes stood in contrast to the Sicilian aristocracy he portrayed in his novel - but they were just as grand and inspiring.
⠀
Come visit Latvia - where literary legends and love stories begin💘
