Nestled in the rugged terrain of Mount Amiata, Castello di Potentino was a dilapidated mess: roofs had collapsed and there was no plumbing or electricity. Following the arduous process of purchasing it from 22 different owners, they set to work renovating the eleventh-century structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this enthralling account of revamping the castello into a contemporary ode to Italian tradition, photographs by the late British fashion photographer Michael Woolley showcase the property, while Horton's text dives into the renovation and life at Potentino. From a dramatic vaulted entrance hall to a starry ceiling mural, the interiors are bound to delight. Readers also learn about technical details, such as recycling materials and painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA chapter dedicated to the land—complete with a vineyard and olive groves—displays Horton's philosophy of self-sufficiency.
