Synopsis
This volume explores every aspect of the Italian home, rustic or stately, to capture the passion and exuberance of the Italian people and their distinctive interior style. Jane Gordon Clark describes the key elements of Italian style. She explains how the look is created at every level - floors, walls and ceilings - by a confident combination of strong colours, sumptuous fabrics rich in pattern and texture, a judicious choice and arrangement of furniture and an accumulation of striking objects. This approach seeks to inspire anyone who would like to achieve the same bold effects. The photographs were taken at selected locations in Tuscany, Umbria, Venice and Lazio.
