To ...I consider Carlo Marchiori a living treasure. To be able to synthesize the look of antiquity and old Italy and create it out of discards is truly genius. <br /><br />As I like to do architectural painting and garden design, I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to assist him, and absorb some of his techniques, philosophy, and aesthetic. I hope he has some assistants or apprentices so that these wonderful skills are passed to others...they are desperately needed in North America.Square With Flairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10587474304650348836[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-29447718835438204592011-02-23T19:37:46.766-08:002011-02-23T19:37:46.766-08:00marchiori has given us our own bomarzo!marchiori has given us our own bomarzo!littlebadwolf[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-51038736786461709902011-02-23T04:21:24.245-08:002011-02-23T04:21:24.245-08:00Fabulous.

He&#39;s a longtime friend of mine--his interiors are in several of my books--and I always love writing about him. He&#39;s a raconteur and a wonderful cook, especially in summer when he has tomatoes and basil in the garden.<br />Of course, several of you are also talented artists! Bravo to you.<br />Devoted Classicist: You have a fantastic memory! The villa was first published about 25 years ago in the World of Interiors (I also published it)...and it indeed did start life as a metal-sided barn with just the Palladian facade/front exterior! Wow, such a memory. <br />Be sure to stay in touch--I have some highly original stories coming up, design and style related of course.<br />cheers, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-16820439821357507462011-02-22T15:19:16.250-08:002011-02-22T15:19:16.250-08:00Such a treat to see Adrian Gregorutii&#39;s photos...Such a treat to see Adrian Gregorutii&#39;s photos!

He has a sense for the right texture, and proportion in relation to the landscape, so that they work together, instead of being either too small, or too large. The interiors are inventive too.
