Win a copy of Massimo Listri. Italian Palaces from TASCHEN, worth £175
This coffee-table book is so mesmerising it feels like stepping into a private gallery of Italy’s greatest palatial gems.
Your guide is photographer and Florence native Massimo Listri – celebrated for his perfectly poised images capturing the magnificence and rich histories of palaces, libraries and museums – and Robert Stalla, a scholarly historian of Italian architecture.
Travel across Northern, Central and Southern Italy, taking in a range of architectural styles, from fortified mediaeval walls to the elaborate rococo designs of the late 18th century. The grandeur of these palaces is nothing short of remarkable, but equally enchanting is the unique feeling created over time by the stories and styles of their many residents.
Craving a magical and mindful moment inside Palazzo Milzetti in Faenza, a key example of Italian Neoclassicm, or Naples’ Palazzo Serra di Cassano, one of the major aristocratic Late Baroque palazzi in the city? You could soon journey through the power, wealth, art and culture of these beautifully designed secret spaces, as TASCHEN is gifting one copy of Massimo Listri. Italian Palaces, worth £175. The multilingual edition is written in English, French and German – a truly special gift for lovers of art and architecture, history and heritage and luxury and languages.
