...ABOUT THE ARTIST...
DCASA - La Repubblica, May 31, 2008:
"La differenza principale e che loro non hanno Palladio, percio lo sognano proprio perche' e lontano, e spesso, devo riconoscere, lo conoscono meglio di noi italiani".
TRADITIONAL HOME, September 2005:
For armchair travelers, try Italian watercolorist Giovanni Giaconi's beautifully illustrated The Villas of Palladio, which includes American architect Kim Williams' brief descriptions of each villa.
INTERIOR DESIGN, October 2003:
"Sometimes drawings are more informative than photographs. This is certainly true for Palladian facades, where proportions and planar relationships merit exact study."
ARCHITECTURAL RECORD, September 2003:
"...carefully scaled, meticulously detailed, lovingly colored...the watercolors form a wonderful historical record of the villas' condition today...Giaconi brings a fluid grace to his subject, perhaps acquired while riding the surf."
