Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guy Lowell toured Italy in the early 20th century, recording great rural villas and farmhouses. His photographs and drawings were released in two massive volumes in 1920, when the rage was on to recreate traditional Mediterranean architecture. The rage is back, and so are his books, in an even bigger compilation. In all, over 500 illustrations transport you through the Italian countryside in a simple, elegant lifestyle that today's busy landscape desingers, homebuilders, and great architects are attempting to recreate. Herein lies much inspiration for those who appreciate great classics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More Small Italian Villas and Farmhouses Since there is no authentic list of his complete works, it has been very difficult to judge merely by the design whether a building is by Palladio or by an apt pupil who worked with the master's book in hand. While the more important work of the Vicenza architect in the city has been much studied and described, only three or four of the villas have been photographed or sketched. So it was not until I tried to examine systematically all the villas, that I realized how much there was of interest of which I could find no modern description. During the war when gardening labour could not be obtained because even the women and the children, as well as the old men, were working on the crops, and when the country houses in the war zone, large and small alike, were used for military purposes, these buildings were often bare within, the furniture being hidden or removed to a province in less danger of invasion, - bare without, because the decorative verdure was unkempt or destroyed. Stripped as they were of their softening verdure, as they often appear in the war time photographs of this book, they may be considered all the more easily from the designer's point of view. The relation of void to the mass, of window opening to wall surface, the proportions of harmoniously spaced columns to the supported entablature are the more readily seen.

Book excerpt: For centuries Florence has been celebrated for her villa-clad hills. According to an old chronicler, the country houses were more splendid than those in the town, and stood so close-set among theirolive-orchards and vineyards that the traveller "thought himself in Florence three leagues beforereaching the city."Many of these houses still survive, strongly planted on their broad terraces, from the fifteenthcentury farmhouse-villa, with its projecting eaves and square tower, to the many-windowed maison deplaisance in which the luxurious nobles of the seventeenth century spent the gambling and chocolatedrinking weeks of the vintage season. It is characteristic of Florentine thrift and conservatism thatthe greater number of these later and more pretentious villas are merely additions to the plain oldbuildings, while, even in the rare cases where the whole structure is new, the baroque exuberancewhich became fashionable in the seventeenth century is tempered by a restraint and severitypeculiarly Tuscan
