Here is a sumptuous showcase of the marvellous range of antiques - ranging from miniatures to rare decorative objects to precious period furniture - housed in some of the most beautiful private residences in Italy. Most of these photographs, taken by Mario Ciampi over the past twenty years, are published here for the first time. The residences range in scale from gorgeous palatial villas to relatively modest homes, and from the great cities of Italy - Venice, Florence, Naples and Rome - to the smaller, but equally beautiful, cities of Lucca, Positano and Siena. From the Museo Mario Praz in Rome, home to an extraordinary collection of 1,200 pieces of furniture, marble, bronze, silver and crystal works of art, to renowned art historian Frederico Zeri's house in Mentana, which contains a priceless collection of Roman epigraphs and a vast art and photography library, all the interiors in this book attest to the special allure of antiques and to the beguiling rewards of collecting.
