Villa: Italian Country Style

This is one of a series of small books, each of which looks at a different national style of interior decoration. Rugs, embroidery, paint and plaster, sparkling glass and china, patterns and colours – on walls and floors, in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens – give an intimate view. “Villa: Italian Country Style” is the third book in the series. Colours and textures, objects and furniture, architectural elements and the quality of light and landscape are all explored. An essay introduces the book and captions accompany photographs.
