This book chronicles the restoration of Villa Cetinale, a seventeenth-century Tuscan estate located near Siena, Italy. Inherited by Ned Lambton and his wife Marina, the villa was lovingly transformed into a retreat. Newly commissioned photographs by Simon Upton capture the estate's rich history and its dreamlike renovation. The villa, originally expanded by Cardinal Flavio Chigi, was acquired by Lord Antony Lambton in 1978, who cultivated its reputation as a glamorous Italian home. The refurbishment maintained the house's original character, with restoration by architect Bolko von Schweinichen and interiors by decorator Camilla Guinness.
