Format:Hardcover
I'm afraid that although this book is full of very lovely images, and beautifully written, if you have bought your own home in italy and are looking for any literature on restoration, this book will only be moderately interesting - there is just not enough detail and practical advice - if you would like a beautiful coffee table book this is the book for you. otherwise i'm still looking if anyone has any suggestions.

Italian Delight
9 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
Elizabeth's latest work is simply delightful, as all her previous books are. If one is lucky enough to own a property in Italy, the book can serve as an immense support when restoring or improving house and grounds. For all other Italy lovers it is a perfect chance to inhale the glory of this wonderful country. Complementi to the author as well as to Simon McBride the equally gifted photographer.

Lush beauty and sensible know-how
15 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
The photographs by Simon McBride are up to his usual high standard and can help guide anyone interested in creating Italian charm in his/her own home to the desired point. And Elizabeth Minchilli has written practical information for step-by-step processes for treating walls, doorways, windows, floors, ceilings, etc., with a special Italian flair. You don't have to be a millionaire to achieve the warm feeling of an Italian family home! Italian Rustic is a good buy for lovers of Italian decor.
