  ...ABOUT THE ARTIST...

  
  

  DEPARTURES MAGAZINE - March-April, 2009: "Inspired by a Renaissance master, Giovanni Giaconi creates exquisite architectural renderings for today...You don't have to own a villa, whether it's a castle or a town house, a country place, a city home, I can draw it." by Celia McGee.

  
  

  GENTE VIAGGI - September, 2008: "D'estate vive a Creta. Pratica e insegna windsurf alla Freak Station, è lì che l'ho conosciuto, sulla spiaggia di Kouremenos, una manciata di chilometri dalla più famosa Vai, sulla costa nordest dell'isola..." di Marco Pagani.

  
  

  DCASA - La Repubblica, May 31, 2008: "La differenza principale è che loro non hanno Palladio, perciò lo sognano proprio perche' è lontano, e spesso, devo riconoscere, lo conoscono meglio di noi italiani" di Francesca Gentile.

  
  

  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."
