Restoring a Home in Italy by Elizabeth Minchilli
This breathtakingly photographed volume offers an inside, and outside, look at twenty-two lovingly restored homes, labours of love by people whose passion for Italy just couldn't be ignored. Owners and designers share anecdotes about their experiences with local artisans, vendors, and bureaucracy, while offering real-world advice on the tactics of restoring a house in a foreign country. Whether the plan is to embark on a complete redesign, begin a restoration, or just move in and let the house evolve on its own, home owners and dreamers alike will value the information and thrill to the dream of Restoring a Home in Italy. This is a book at once lush and beautiful, and invaluably practical.Elizabeth Helman Minchilli is the author of Artisan's Repairing a House in Italy, which is now in its third printing, and Italian Rustic, which was just released. Her love of Italy drove her to move to Italy in 1987 from the United States, where she studied architectural history. She is the author of four previous books on Italian culture and has written articles on architecture, design, and food for a number of periodicals.
