Italy of My Dreams
Famed interior designer, and President of Save Venice, Inc., Matthew White, whom Architectural Digest named as one of the 100 best designers in the world, offers a rare and thrilling glimpse into his own private world of Italian-inspired high-design with Italy of My Dreams: The Story of an American Designer’s Real Life Passion for Italian Style. A design object in-and-of itself, Italy of My Dreams includes nearly two-hundred pages containing hundreds of lush, color images. White takes the reader on a visual and textual journey-- from his childhood in a trailer park in Armarillo, Texas, to his first, life-changing trip to Venice and through the development and application of his deep personal connection with the art and architecture of Italy. Each project detailed in the tome is one that White has not only designed, but has also called home. And while the locations change - from California Villas to a Palazzo in New York City - the designer’s passion remains true, making Italy of My Dreams an intimate and inspirational celebration of Italian style.
