Strozzi, Pucci, Antinori the great noble families deter­mined the course of history in Tuscany for centuries and made their mark on Western culture. Their palaces, castles, and wine-growing estates still play a major part in the look of the famous cities and picturesque countryside of Tuscany. For Luxury Houses Toscana, twenty of these renowned families have allowed us to see what is behind the imposing stone facades, some for the first time ever, revealing spectacular interiors and art treasures, as well as glimpses of the private lives of the residents. The photographs gathered in this exceptional book document the true meaning of Tuscan luxury: a rich lite based on a unique inheritance.
