Katia Lysy: La Foce, Gebunden

Klappentext

The dramatic story of La Foce--in which a wild Tuscan valley of desolate beauty becomes a dream landscape in the Renaissance tradition and the unique setting of a beautiful house and garden--is told by the Origo's granddaughter Katia Lysy, with reminiscences by Benedetta Origo, the couple's elder daughter. The letters and diaries of Iris weave beautifully into a personal narrative of the creation of the property and the people behind it. Newly commissioned photographs by Simon Upton and Matteo Carassale and unpublished images from the Origo archives of the creation of the garden in the 1920s bring to life the rich history of the magnificent estate.--Back cover.
