Must Have!.......2004-01-05
This book is one of the most interesting I have ever read on the subject. It is filled with historical works of art, frescos, murals, architecture. The photographs are stunning, all large full page spreads in color.
a monumental work.......2002-06-19
This coffee table book is a monumental work, which covers 80 of the most important villas in Veneto, the hinterland of Venice. These Villas were built by wealthy Venetian merchants about 500 years ago for the time when the summer heat in Venice made Italian merchants and gentlemen long for the fresh air of the country. For the ones in the know: many Villas were built by Andrea Palladio, the master architect from Vicenca. The photographer of the book, Paolo Marton, took 2 whole years to take the very best pictures of the different palaces, villas, country houses and mansions, and his effort has been worthwhile. The text gives readers the right background about how these beautiful residences came into being and why they are renovated and lived in by families such as the Benettons.
Visually stunning and a fascinating, well researched survey.......1999-06-07
One of the best books I own! Incredible survey of the villas in their historical, stylistic and architectural context. Interesting relationships with literature, philosophical thought, artists and identities of the day are discussed. The best point is the comprehensive internal shots of each villa - instead of the purely external profiles you normally see - particularly of the interiors of the Villa Capra which I have never seen before. Beautifull format and excellent visuals.
Product Description

Fascinating & Very Spiritual Journey--A Wonderful Book.......2007-07-18
I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing a private tour of this wonderful villa, with art and architecture students from the University of California at Berkeley, and enjoyed meeting Sally and Carl Gable in June 1997. I waited for years for this volume to appear. The wait was worth it all! I recall the splendor and excellent porportions of the Villa. And the welcoming presence of the Gables. You cannot completely understand their quality as people, and their commitment to preservation of this historically indispensable home, until you stand in their presence. Their knowledge of the history of the Villa, and the renovation and restoration techniques, is limitless. And above all, their understanding of European and Italian workers, and their families, and the town setting in which the Villa sits, is amazing. Here within this book, you have Sally as your affectionate guide. I had no clear idea, until I read the book the first time many months ago, that she would prove to be such a fascinating writer. Such clear and evocative writing! Those of you who are familiar with that zany and rich animal otherwise known as the "Italian Character" will understand immediately that she has penetrated into the core and spirit of the Italian social world that swirls around her home. She and Carl opened themselves up to the intimate worlds of all persons that intersected with the Villa, its most recent preservation, and its month-to-month upkeep. The details of that progressive seeping into that social world are fascinating. And the pacing of the unexpected calamities and expensive surprises which awaited them, spilling down on them without warning, will be familiar to any of you who know Italy, and Italians, well. Because what happened to the Gables happens to all residents of Italy. This life force emerging from the Italian Volcanic Soil could be summed up this way: "Why worry about the future? It's going to smack you in the head soon enough. So, lighten up in the meanwhile. Have some wine, and some vegetables and soup and pasta, and sit down and watch the sunset, and see what's happening with the neighbors." LIFE will coming crashing down upon you, soon enough. Ms. Gable captures the sequences of her learning about this in individual chapters that hang in the mind. With wit, great clarity of understanding of character, and tons of humor knitted into all of her stories.
I encourage all readers of this book to go to this Villa, which is unusual in its double-height Reception Hall, in the absence of original painted fresco "paintings." Ms. Gable has it correct that the Cornaro family brandished their immense wealth and influence in daring to incorporate intensely expensive real sculpture into the Reception Area, in carefully calculated placements in niches set into the plaster walls. They lavished more expense, in the first building of this Villa, in their country home's Reception Room than most nobles could have mustered in their entire City Villa! It was a "knock your socks off" room then. And it still astonishes visitors today.
Sally will also show you two qualities that static photographs just do not capture: (1) How perfectly proportioned each of the rooms is. And how they relate very calmly to adjacent rooms. In perfect balance. And (2) exactly where the original canal travel passage was, in relation to the "front" of the Villa--which today is the "back veranda porch" area. Visitors arriving from the canal would have been greeted with great ceremony, and then ushered directly into the double-height grand Reception Room. From which unfurled the various smaller suites of rooms. With a view outward to the rear garden and walks (which at this date comprises the "front yard" and garden, directly facing the street and modern entrance walks). When you tour the Villa in person, the relaxing and balanced human scale of it all just melts into your Soul. And all of the detail that Palladio put into the overal balance and scale of the design suddenly strikes a clear bell ring in the mind. And you remember that clarity thereafter as long as you shall live.
I warmly recommend this fascinating and entertaining book for all lovers of travel, cultural and architectural history, and for explorers of the warmth and chaotic charm of the Italian social world. Additionally, when you see all of the other surviving Palladian Villas in the Veneto Region and beyond, you will realize how special the home of Sally and Carl is in the overall scheme of things that survive as Palladio's corpus of work.
As a future companion to this volume, I would certainly welcome a future book from the talented pen of Sally Gable. Will she grace us with another book, perhaps describing her further adventures in the village world there? And further details of the expensive upkeep of a 470+ year homestead?
I have one final word of comment regarding other posters who are perhaps not famliar with the Italian character, and have felt cheated because Sally and Carl did not provide a neat expected-by-intrusive-Americans set of tables in the back of the book, tabulating every single US Dollar that they spent on everything they had to shore up, replace, strip down and replace, cajole back into place and/or have artisans conjure up from scratch.....In the Italian social world, the village's most wealthy occupants, who derive status from their character and strength, as well as their wealth and real estate or business holdings, would never ever think of posting a billboard in their yard listing what they paid for the place, and what they spent month-by-month for its upkeep. Such an open-book revealment would be considered, rightly so, tacky. Too forward. Racy. Poor form. And wicked....So, Sally, in her approach to exploring how to communicate details about this, chose the High Road. Yes, we all want to know that info. But Sally remains the Gentlewoman of the Villa. And dares not wag those details before public eyes.....Yet, I have thought of a return visit during which I entrance her with multiple sweet drinky-poos in her side parlor. And pry the details out of her.....I'm left with the fantasy of that lingering interrogation, amidst smiles, in that perfectly proportioned room. Meanwhile, I await her next book(s).
A lot to learn, a joy to read !.......2007-01-16
Informative, amusing, thoughtful, analytic, on occasion sentimental - strikes a perfect balance, a great pleasure to read - unforgettable . . .
Story in brief: Upon stumbling by chance over a classified advertisement Sally goes nuts over the idea of buying an Italian historic monument on sale, a real Palladian villa she can scarcely afford. The grand place is on sale and Sally gets really obsessed over it - she manages to drag her beloved, nonchalant, husband Carl into this too. A noble obsession indeed; Sally eventually overcomes all obstacles and succeeds in making her dream come true: she manages to buy the thing, and the rest is history. No, this is no fiction. Sally and Carl Gable are real persons. American, too - (sigh . . . .).
The book provides a lively and very personal account of the Gables' adventure of taking hold of the renowned Villa Cornaro, built by Andrea Palladio in 1552 for the wealthy Venetian patrician Giorgio Cornaro, the restoration jobs they had to undertake, their process of adapting to life within a rural Italian community, making friends, Veneto adventures and misadventures, history, local customs, culinary delights - and what have you. Along the way the reader gets a lot of information on the villa itself, its immediate surroundings and its history, as well as an overall historic and local background.
I ordered Sally's book almost as an afterthought, bundled to my order of Palladio's "The Four Books on Architecture" (translated by Robert Tavernor) and Tavernor's own "Palladio and Palladianism" (two absolute "musts" on the subject of Palladian architecture, along with Vitruvius' "The Ten Books on Architecture"). That proved to be a lucky day. Sally & Carl Gable's book details original Palladian architecture as seen from the perspective of the actual inhabitants of the architect's creation, and its surrounding community and history - a rare human-centric first-hand account, perfectly complementing scholarly publications on the subject. Informative, interesting and lively, never a boring moment, a lot to learn, a joy to read.
When you are sad that a book is over, you know it has been a great book . . . .
Highly recommended (if that has not been apparent from the above).
Upscale in the Veneto.......2006-08-17
Any fine old house one chooses to restore immediately turns into a money pit--all the more so a historic Palladian villa in the Veneto. Thank goodness there are people able to do it--and to write about it in as engaging a manner as Sally Gable. With the restoration project comes a whole new life for the Gables, complete with new friends, hosts of visitors, and Venetian country recipes. This is a delightful book for anyone acquainted with this unique part of Italy or planning to become acquainted with it.
" With Time and Money ( almost ) All is Possible"..........2006-04-08
Always a sucker for books about Americans who adapt to other cultures, this book was a disappointment.
Although the educational aspects of Palladian design was interesting, the author's voice struck me as cold, condescending and lacking wit or warmth. The book was dry. I would have appreciated better, larger, clearer photography.
The villa is a breathtaking property with such a rich history. The author does respect, honor and appreciate her home- that much is evident.
This 14,000 square foot Venetian "country house" certainly goes beyond my wildest imaginings of a "second home". I would have loved to have read more of the Gables' hands-on renovations, rather than hired hands. I would have relished reading about Ms Gables' thoughts and as she soaked in the view from each window at dusk- closing those many, many shutters. Instead, she hired someone to do that for her.
If "Palladian Days" spurs your interest into further reading and research- well, then it is worth it's price. My memories won't be of the Gables or their story- but will lie with the thoughts of Palladio's gifts to the world.
Great book! Wonderful house!.......2006-01-17
It takes a lot of determination to do what the Gables (and the Rushes before them) did. They bought not just any villa in Italy, but one of the supreme villas by one of the most noted Renaissance architects. Owning this house becomes a career and the Gables shoulder it with love. The book has many b & w photos, but for a better look, Google "Palladio" (boglewood should appear in the top links) for color photos which are more striking. This site, by the Gable's son, has even more info on Palladio and his villas.
Each morning it takes 30 minutes to open the 44 heavy shutters and another 30 to bolt them at night. The Gables hire someone who can make the rounds in 20 minutes. Other needs of the house: a working kitchen, leaks in the roof and moisture in the floor, rewiring (I think it took 3 weeks), scorpion irradication (which is minimized in text but took 3 years), a conversion from septic to city sewage similary take time and outside help.
While two authors are credited, it is clearly Sally's voice. The book is divided into short essays, each devoted to a topic. Many of them stand on their own, and could be published elsewhere for other purposes. For instance, the visit to the archives, clearly makes readers appreciate the research that goes into historical writing. Other vignettes describe friends, Venetian glass, the Cornaros, the frescoes, other Palladio villas at a visit from Bob Vila etc.
We learn that actual costs are higher or lower than estimates or expectations but there are no stated amounts. Whatever the costs, it's clear, to embark on such a project you need devotion, flexibility and deep pockets.
This is a delightful book. If you are not interested in Palladian architecture when you start it, you will be when you're done.

This collection of international case-studies addresses this crucial issue by asking what local communities can contribute to sustainable tourism, and what sustainability can offer local communities. Individually these investigations present a wealth of original research and source material. Collectively the book illuminates the term 'community', the meaning of which, it is argued, is vital to understanding how sustainable tourism development can be implemented in practice. br br

Book Description
Why Regulate Utilities? informs and revises economic thought about regulation and regulatory change. Showing that state regulation governed the behavior of local politicians as well as utilities, it gives empirical muscle to the idea that regulatory commissions act like administered contracts. Synthesizing and extending the new institutional economics, it builds a comprehensive model of institutional change and political economy. A history book, Why Regulate Utilities? promotes sensitivity to a relevant past. Highlighting institutional arrangements once hidden by the shadows of the past, it demonstrates how utility markets operated in the years before state regulation. Emphasizing the importance of historical context, Werner Troesken suggests that producer support for a particular law or regulation need not imply that the law or regulation is inefficient or contrary to the public interest.
Using the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Chicago gas industry as a case in point, Troesken argues that large and irrevocable investments pervaded the gas industry. These investments created an economic prison that bound consumers, local politicians, and producers. If producers did not like the regulations established by local politicians, they were stuck; similarly, if Chicagoans did not like gas rates and service, they could not solicit the services of other producers without incurring huge costs. A battle was bound to ensue: consumers demanded relief from exorbitant rates; politicians launched antitrust suits and passed rate ordinances; producers appealed to the state legislature and the courts for relief. Ultimately Illinois created a state commission to regulate Chicago gas companies, moving the battle out of the legislature and courts and relieving them of these costly, time-consuming battles.
Werner Troesken is Assistant Professor of History and Economics, University of Pittsburgh.

Book Description
The last dozen years has seen the blossoming in America of a new type of city - the "quality of life city." Small to mid-sized cities like Boulder, Santa Barbara, Portland, Austin, and many others feature progressive politics and strict environmental regulations, yet have been very successful in attracting the investment and firms associated with the "new economy." For a variety of reasons, rapidly growing and innovative sectors like software, entertainment, and tourism all see this type of city as an ideal place to locate. In New Money, Nice Town, Leonard Nevarez investigates three archetypal "lifestyle" cities on the Southern California coastline that have been successful in attracting such firms. He shows that a new urban political economy and social life is emerging, with major ramifications for the shape of corporate power and local politics in contemporary America. The ways corporations locate and intervene in cities has changed in important ways, revealing a new dependence on places that offers both progressive possibilities and new sources of urban insecurity. New Money, Nice Town will be valuable for anyone concerned about the far-reaching social and political impact of a "new economy" based on knowledge production and amenity consumption.

Book Description
Business Education in Emerging Market Economies discusses the impact of business education on emerging markets and explores curricular innovation, pedagogical approaches, and strategic alliances in the context of industrializing economies. Emerging markets contain 80% of the world's population and some 75% of its trade growth in the foreseeable future, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The potential economic growth of these emerging markets has prompted a need to understand their dynamics, business institutions and educational systems. Many American universities, for example, have responded to the demand of their students and business partners by educating them about the exciting opportunities and lurking threats in these industrializing economies. This book contains multiple chapters designed to educate American students about the curricular innovations and course development occurring in emerging markets.
