Tag along to Milan, Italy for a behind the scenes visit with designer Nicolo Castellini Baldissera. See how, upon returning to his native city, Nicolo transformed a mere white box of an apartment into a colorful, eclelctic and personal home, reflecting his many travels and love of northern Morocco (be sure to watch our visit with Nicolo in his Tangier home    • At Home in Tangier with Nicolò Castel...   ). Hear how he used saturated hues, trompe l’oeil and specialty paint finishes to bring the outdoors in and a golden glow to evening spaces. Learn how Nicolo’s family, a distinguished Italian design dynasty, has influenced his career and remarkable eye. And join us as we also visit Casa degli Atellani, Nicolo’s ancestral home, where his great grandfather, the renowned architect Piero Portaluppi (of Villa Necchi fame) restored, renovated and expanded the original Renaissance palazzo. As a member of Milanese inner circles, it was only natural that Nicolo follow up his first volume, Inside Tangier, with a similar look at interiors in his home city, Inside Milan, just published by Vendome Press.
