There are few countries with such an established design scene, distinctive aesthetic, and universal appeal as Italy. This sumptuously illustrated survey showcases 50 of Italy's most beautiful homes, from historic palaces in Venice and mid-century apartments in Milan to sun-filled villas in rural Sicily.

Milan-based writer Laura May Todd takes readers on an intimate tour of these inspiring domestic spaces, including residences by some of the region's best-known and beloved architects and designers of all time, such as Carlo Scarpa, Alessandro Mendini, and Luca Guadagnino.

With styles ranging from historic to contemporary and minimalist to maximalist, some of the interiors are true hidden gems, having never before appeared in print. Each home is illustrated with lavish photography and a short essay revealing the story behind its design. Printed in a luxe oversize format with a chic acetate jacket, Italian Interiors is an evocative exploration of the country's eclectic, elegant style.
