Produktbeschreibung
Celebrate centuries of history, culture, and natural beauty in this exclusive view inside the stunning homes of Sicily’s most interesting residents An ode to the ever-changing landscapes of the Mediterranean’s largest island, this book takes readers on a captivating journey from Sicily’s dazzling coastline and the Aeolian Islands to the volcanic foothills of the majestic Mount Etna. From the gilded and frescoed ceilings of aristocratic palazzos to the muted tones of sun-bleached rustic dwellings, the extraordinary homes seen here reveal the rich tapestry of design at the heart of Sicily’s enigmatic and captivating soul. Sicily, a cradle of architectural styles, reflects its Ancient Greek and Roman heritage, enriched by Berber and Arab influences and crowned with the opulence of Sicilian Baroque. This cultural tapestry comes alive in the island’s grand palazzos, rural masserie (farmhouses), and lovingly restored villas, all brought to life in this exquisite volume, bound in real cloth. Step inside Casa Cuseni in Taormina, the historic home of English painter Robert Kitson, which once hosted luminaries such as Giacomo Balla and D.H. Lawrence, their creativity reflected in its remarkable décor. Visit the Aeolian retreat of visionary architect Ettore Sottsass and design critic Barbara Radice. Explore the natural beauty of Val di Noto and marvel at the villa of celebrated architect Gordon Guillaumier and the late designer Rodolfo Dordoni. Featuring stunning interiors photography by Guido Taroni and rich insights by author Christopher Garis, Inside Sicily celebrates the island’s unparalleled fusion of traditions.
