PIETRO CICOGNANI ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

The first book from this respected architect spans three decades of his elegant and highly personalised work, from country estates to city apartments, all underpinned by his affinity for classical design. Martyn Lawrence Bullard said the book’s “visions of Italian beauty” left him breathless – quite an accolade. Isabella Rossellini, whose country house was designed by the architect, penned the foreword. Karen Bruno, Vendome, $120
