Amidst the vibrant hues of autumn in the vineyards of Barolo, the town of La Morra stands in the distance, mirroring the rich history and intrigue of Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne, Comtesse de La Fayette. Known for her literary masterpiece, "La Princesse de Clèves," she penned tales of love and passion, much like the clandestine escape of King Charles II of England, disguised as a commoner, riding before Mrs. Lane in the early 18th century. Artists like Louis Tressan captured the essence of this era, merging the allure of the past with the beauty of nature.
