Recenzii
Review of the hardback: 'This book is the result of a remarkable piece of research that carves out a new and important subject. While it is true that some fifteenth-century Florentine villas have become very well known, these, as Amanda Lillie notes, are principally the five Medici villas at Trebbio, Cafaggiolo, Careggi, Fiesole and Poggio a Caiano, and they are hardly representative of Florentine villa architecture of this time. It is this distortion that the author hopes to remedy by examining some of the 'more ordinary' rural buildings of the period on the basis of detailed and meticulous investigation carried out predominantly in the archive. … It is a measure of Lillie's scholarly ingenuity that she has succeeded in producing a book that fulfils her stated objective and provides such a wealth of new factual material.' The Burlington Magazine
