500			_aThis remarkable collection of essays celebrates a very special country estate in Tuscany that has become a noted retreat for writers and other creatives. Paired with exquisite photographs by François Halard-atmospheric interiors, lush gardens, inspiring landscapes-these essays have been penned by some of the world's most critically acclaimed writers. Beatrice Monti della Corte, along with her late husband Gregor von Rezori, transformed a collection of ruins in the hills above Florence first into a writing studio and then ultimately into a weekend and holiday retreat. Here they would spend time working at their craft, nurturing the gardens and an astonishing variety of pets, usually while also hosting groups of friends-fellow artists and writers. This gracious and convivial tradition of weaving hospitality, creativity, and bonhomie together resulted in the founding of the Santa Maddalena Retreat for Writers and the Santa Maddalena Fellowships under the aegis of the Santa Maddalena Foundation-- adapted from jacket flap
