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.<\/p>\n
