From the publisher

CARLO MARCHIORI studied at the Instituto Pietro Selvatico in Padua, Italy, and worked in commercial art, film animation, and editorial illustration before mastering the large-scale trompe #&146;oeil murals for which he is internationally renowned. Fifteen years ago, Marchiori began constructing Ca#&146Toga, his Palladian-style combined villa and two-story workshop in Calistoga, California.

First line

I think of the Past and the Future as two mirrors, between which I stand, precariously balanced on Now . . . an ephemeral state that in another second will already have turned into Then.

Media reviews

"Under silvery moonlight, the Doric temple in Carlo Marchiori'¬?s garden looks as if it were hewn from Carrara marble. Fluted columns pose heroically on a romantically crumbling foundation. Soaring above are elaborate friezes and fragments of traditional entablature. There'¬?s even a broken pediment. All that'¬?s missing is the oracle. Mr. Marchiori . . . offers up an instant classical education in his villa and garden. His five-acre domain, which he calls Ca'¬?Toga, sits on the banks of the Napa River in the rocky northern reaches of the Napa Valley. Passers-by can glimpse the richly colored villa across a vineyard." -New York Times
