"In her book Professor Sica provides a comprehensive and scholarly analysis of the Florentine villa from the thirteenth century to the present day that will appeal to those built environment professionals with a deep interest in architecture, landscape design and social history… The book is well set out and illustrated with an appendix and six villas to visit."
