Villa Pucino

The 33 images in this listing are of three kinds: 18 still images taken from the 3D virtual tour of the building site, scanned on 22 and 30 September 2026; 8 photographs taken by drone on 15 August 2026; and 7 project renderings, which are not photographs and carry the words “Rendering di progetto · Project rendering” on the image. 19 of the 26 photographs were edited with a generative image model (Google's Nano Banana family, used through the Higgsfield platform): the 18 images from the tour and one drone shot. Of these 19, two were adjusted for light and colour only (the drone view over the gulf and a corner of the terrace), one only to remove rust and paint splashes from the stairwell scaffolding, and sixteen also to remove what a building site leaves in the rooms, without it ceasing to be a building site. Removed: ladders and a mobile scaffold tower; pallets, boards and planks; packs of profiles and battens, cardboard boxes and tile boxes; buckets, cement sacks and bulk bags; work clothes and the workers' belongings; brooms, cleaning tools, a work lamp and a floodlight; a fire extinguisher, garden hoses and a metal pipe, a panel, pieces of cardboard and debris; labels on the glass, the shadow of the camera tripod, lens flare and a temporary railing post.

Deliberately left in place: the parquet packs on the first floor, the scaffolding, the temporary railings, the crane, the bare screeds, the exposed cables and electrical boxes, and a mobile scaffold tower at the back of the open-plan space. Where an object was removed, the part of the floor, wall or scaffolding it hid was not photographed: the model rebuilt it, plausibly. In four photographs the model did more than it was asked, and we say so: in two photos of the lower level it closed an open wall chase in the back wall, with its corrugated conduit and electrical boxes, which is in fact open, and redrew the yard seen through the opening, including a parked car; in the photo of the lift shaft it removed a scaffold tube, lengthened a timber prop and added some boards; in the view towards Miramare it changed distant details, and a crane near the marina became a tower.

These four photos carry the label “simulated”. Nothing else was altered: dimensions, openings, windows, floors, screeds and services are as photographed, and the state of the works has been neither softened nor hidden: bare screeds, cables hanging from the ceilings, open electrical boxes, scaffolding, temporary timber railings, the site yard and the bare earth of the garden are as they are. The views, and what can be seen through the windows, were recomputed by the model together with the rest of the image: in the AI-edited photos the smallest, most distant details may differ from the shot.

The other 7 drone photographs were corrected for light and colour only, locally and without generative AI; on the lift-shaft scaffolding the rust was removed by local retouching. The renderings show the villa as designed, with the pool that does not exist yet: finishes and furnishings are indicative. Light and colour were corrected as in ordinary photo retouching.

The original, unedited photographs are available on request; a viewing remains the only reliable reference for the actual condition of the property.
