"Satisfy your craving for authentic Italian interiors" according to MJB. This book was my selfish gift to me. I used it as design inspiration for authentic Italian interiors. I still refer to it for ideas. The photos of country villas, rural retreats and urban apartments, took my inspiration in several directions. Keep that in mind because it's not all rustic villas. I especially enjoyed the wall plaster colors and textures as well as the variety in flooring tiles. How simply some of the rooms are furnished! The cover photo is so gorgeous in composition, color, structure.it doesn't get any better.
With 180 color photographs showing off the rich variety of styles across the regions of Italy, from seaside palazzo to Venetian townhouse, this book will inspire readers to bring the loveliness of Italy into their own homes.. La Dolce Vita invites us into the homes of artists, writers, eccentrics, and noblemen-both native and expatriate-living in Italy: artist Sandro Chia's austere monastery surrounded by vineyards in Tuscany, Gore Vidal's cliffside retreat on the Amalfi Coast, and the farmhouse in Chianti which inspired the film Stealing Beauty
