The tenth volume in the series, this book discusses sixteen seaside, country, mountain, lakeside and riverside villas wich are characterized by carefully designed architectures and interiors. New constructions, as well as restorations and expansions of existing country homes are included. From the Canton Ticino to Pantelleria, from Brianza to Liguria and Tuscany, from Lazio to Puglia, the common trait is the fine precision and quality of the work, as well as the particular landscapes in which these willas are located. They illustrate a variety of architectures that include parks, gardens and swimming pools.
