A step-by-step guide to recreating the romance and appeal of the weathered Italian farmhouse. This nuts-and-bolts guide to building Italian-style walks the reader through all the elements that make the rustic Italian home so unique. My wife and I received dozens of questions from readers after she published her last book, Restoring a Home in Italy. People were hungry to know how terra-cotta tiles were laid, or how fireplaces were built. Together we created a user-friendly book that explains, in clear text accompanied by photographs and drawings, how to build, Tuscan-style.

This breathtakingly photographed volume offers an inside look at twenty-two lovingly restored homes, including four of my own projects. Owners, architects and designers share their anecdotes about their experiences with local artisans, vendors, and bureaucracy, while offering real-world advice on the tactics of restoring a house in a foreign country.

This monograph, written by my wife Elizabeth Helman Minchilli and photographed by Simon McBride tells the story of our own home, Pergolaccio, located in Umbria. This is my own personal story of finding a ruin and bringing it back to life.
