Sudbury, MA c. 1901 **Not my pics**
"Historic Italian Villa sited on 9.5 acres on one of the most desirable roads in Sudbury. The house is made of stone and concrete mimicking light pink stucco with a slate roof. It contains 11 rooms, 6 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths. Features include extensive wood paneling and beams, random-width pine floors, brick floors, and black and white marble floor tiles. There is also a two-story conservatory/greenhouse and a wide stone terrace. This remarkable property abuts conservation trails and is near the Sudbury River. The gardens are enchanting with hedged enclosures, stone benches, grape arbors with a fountain, walls, and walkways. The entrance is guarded by two stone lions imported from Europe and there is a stone bridge across a small perennial stream. Accessory buildings include a detached two-car garage, a wood-frame stable, and a wood-frame shed. The house needs a major update and there is potential for limited development."- from listing

Garani Villa, Fiesole, 1953. One of Renzo Mongiardino’s earliest commissions, the now-decaying house has never been altered. Mongiardino designed the arched staircase in the entryway and had his craftsmen paint its trompe l’oeil pattern of latticework and vines.
