This is one of the best interior design books to come on the market in a long time.
The pictures are gorgeous, the text is both educational and interesting, and for
those who aren't familiar with Branca's work you are in for a treat. Her style
is crisp,COLORFUL,great attention to detail and lovely to look at but always very
comfortable. A book you will want to pick up and reference again and again. Enjoy!

This book is a treasure! I absolutely love it. As a passionate collector of interior design books for my home library, I can honestly say that this is now among the most beautiful in my collection. The full color photographs are tasteful, elegant, and rich. If you want to be inspired by classic design, this is an excellent choice.

This book is sublime. Alessandra Branca is an extremely talented designer. Dressmaking type details abound in the photographs in this book. She is just a cut above many designers out there.
New Classic Interiors starts off in Rome (her birthplace), then on to Chicago, and New York. There are great photos of projects and diagrams. The text is interesting and you will learn why certain things were created the way they were, her opinions on lighting, and general design information that make her rooms just a cut above other designs.
If I had to be critical at all, it would be the use of red. This use to be one of my favorite home and clothing colors, but now blue reigns. Alessandra is heavily invested in the color red, and uses it magnificently!

I love this book so much I ordered 2! I was looking for inspiration for our apt in Rome and this was the PERFECT book for it... Elegance, Flair, attention to detail and wonderful stories in one FABULOUS book! I could relate as we have an apt in Rome and New York, there are challenges to renovating an old space (Rome) and space engineering in a New York apt. This book was so great I couldn't put it down and had to have 2 for both homes! LOVE IT-LOVE IT-LOVE IT!!!! My favorite Interior book thus far added to my collection....

A gorgeous book, with many inspiring rooms to dwell in--loaded with beautiful pictures and cheerful text! Add a star if you are a fan of all things Italian.

I actually bought this on sale at a bookstore that was closing down and I'm so glad I did! I love it so much that I felt the urge to talk about it here, as Amazon is where I usually purchase books. If you love beautiful interior designs and also want the stories behind them plus tips, this book is a great example of that and more. I've purchased many interior design books and this is one of the best.

The book was just as described and it was sent to me very quickly. I was very pleased with the service.

a fabulous new book well worth waiting for great photos and very intersting reading many thanks to the author

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK ON INTERIOR DESIGN ARRIVES ON THE SCENE. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
THIS BOOK IS MUCH TOO BIG TO HANDLE AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO HOLD WHILE SITTING IN A CHAIR- YOU NEED A COUNTER TOP TO SET IT ON!
THIS VERY LARGE BOOK SEEMS LIKE AN EARLY TRIBUTE TO THE EGO OF THE DESIGNER IT REPRESENTS.
I HAVE BEEN A COLLECTOR OF INTERIOR DESIGN BOOKS SINCE THE 1960'S. THE PICTURES ARE OF POOR QUALITY, THE LAYOUTS SEEM PRETENTIOUS AND TOO HUMOROUS. MANY OF THE PHOTO'S SEEM MORE LIKE LAYOUTS FOR ADVERTISING AN UPHOLSTERED CHAIR OR FOR PROMOTING A FABRIC OR A LIGHT FIXTURE...
IT IS REALLY AN ADVERTISEMENT; LOOKING FOR MORE WORK.
I WAS HOPING FOR MORE SINCE I BELIEVE THIS DESIGNER HAS GOOD TASTE EVEN THOUGH HER ROOMS NEVER LOOK QUITE FINISHED.......
