"Renzo Mongiardino\nItaly's Grand Illusionist Raised Atmosphere to an Art Form\nThe palette of Princess Firyal of Jordan's grand salon in London, designed in the mid-1980s, was inspired by Indian watercolors.\nMongiardino was commissioned in the 1970s to restore a 17th-century Roman palazzo. A series of medallions depicting members of the Medici family helped determine the d\u00E9cor of the early-Baroque-style library, which also featured antique Genoese armchairs.\nThe designer tempered his characteristically bold palette with an airier one in the late 1980s for a villa near Rome's Appian Way owned by fashion designer Valentino. The stenciled walls and ceiling of the dining room were inspired by an 18th-century Sicilian veranda."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
