Trompe L'oeil

The dazzlingly gorgeous dining room at Villa Malaspina. Don't you love the painting of the dog in the fireplace? This and more splendour to be found in the book, Villas of Tuscany, by Carlo Cresti and photographed by Massimo Listri (who I have written about here)...

Massimo Listri

Using natural light where possible, photographer Massimo Listri has perfectly captured what can only be described as the most exquisite interiors in the world. In his own words:

My photography is an expression of tranquility and silence in this chaotic society - a sense of perspective and equilibrium. This is therapy for the soul. Every time I take a photo is like the first time a treasure is revealed, a first emotion, be it an empty room or the greatest treasures of the Vatican...
