[European estates / The most beautiful residences of the old continent from the 15th to the 19th century] This book, the result of years of voyages on the part of the author, presents a vivid iconographic overview of the most beautiful European estates built from the 15th to the 19th century. Organized in geographical sections, with boxes for technical information on construction techniques and styles in the various zones, the book offers a vast panorama of the multiple forms assumed by the villa typology across the entire European continent.
The examples selected alternate between famous sites and less familiar ones, to create an original itinerary from Portugal to the Black Sea, from Iceland to Malta, including territories that are often overlooked but contain extraordinary architectural works.
