With all the ups and downs in the economy these days and the "looming recession" wherever that may be, I've been thinking about escape. How great would it be to just flit off to my villa in Italy and get out of gloomsville NYC? I love the openness of the interiors, the high ceilings, the history. In the meantime, here are some pics of some beautiful interiors in Italy. Yeah, thats my house in Milan above BY THE WAY.
