Review of Dr Patricia Osmond’s new book on Villa Gamberaia

revisiting the gamberaia

Revisiting the Gamberaia: An Anthology of Essays, edited by Dr. Patricia Osmond, presents the context for a series of reprinted essays written by English and American authors over a span of more than seventy years, beginning in 1901. In doing so, Dr Osmond provides an overview of Florence’s cultural environment at the turn of the twentieth century, when writers, artists, diplomats and the idle rich were exploring the gardens and villas of the region, and buying or renting properties outside of Florence for long stays in the area. Biographical notes provide background information about the individuals who have influenced the Gamberaia’s design. Click this link for a recent review of Revisiting the Gamberaia.
