Villa Decor: Decidedly French and Italian Style

Rating:
Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: One glance through this book and it is immediately obvious that this is "Villa Wannabe"--American Style. If you think you are really in a foreign country when you visit Epcot, then you might think this book represents French or Italian Villas, but it does not. It shows homes of American clients that are chock full of 'so called' decorative accessories and fru-fru treatments sold to them by eager Interior Decorators. Save your money and put it towards "Venetian Palazzi", This reasonably priced large format book
has wonderful photographs that show
great details of interior and drawings of the exteriors.
The text is in 4 languages. I love "Venetian Palazzi". OR
Venetian Palaces
by Alvise Zorzi, Paolo Marton---a much better investment.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: This is one of the most beautiful and inspiring books on Italian and French design I've ever seen. The book is loaded with breath taking color photos that will provide endless hours of enjoyment. I have read through it several time now and each time I find more enjoyment in it than the last. A wonderful book that you will want to add to your collection.
