| Book Description | The mention of Mongiardino still elicits instant reverence. With his alchemic blurring of eras, the sheer scope and commitment of his massive projects and insistence on valuing ambience above so-called authenticity, he attained mythic stature. - The New York Times Style Magazine. Roomscapes is not only a beautiful testament to Mongiardino's imaginative creations, the magnificent rooms he re-shaped and decorated in ancient Italian and Parisian palaces, English houses, New York apartments, but it is an important text that analyses space, function, decoration and lighting of rooms. It is meant as a guide to conceive spaces that are inhabited through time and by time. Sketches, drawings, and models by Mongiardino, next to the images of the finished rooms, make the creative process clear and showcase his extraordinary ability and taste. |

His career started in Italy to expand to the European aristocracy and then cross the Atlantic. His clientele included some many distinguished families such as the Agnellis, Rotschilds, Thyssen-Bornemiszas, Radziwills, Zanussos, and modern couteriers like Versace, Valentino, and Jil Sander. He also designed stage and film sets for Franco Zeffirelli, Giancarlo Menotti, Peter Hall, and Liliana Cavani. Legendary were the sets for Maria Callas return to the opera (1964, Covent Garden). |
