Description
The House of Life is Mario Praz's unique autobiography, in which every object from his personal collection at the Palazzo Ricci in Rome is translated into a chapter. This remarkable apartment is one of the few surviving marvels of modern Rome, and its story is told through the objects that fill it. From room to room, Praz takes us on a journey through his life, using the objects around him as a guide. The rooms are filled with pieces of neoclassical, Biedermeier, Second Empire, and Regency furniture, creating a peculiar museum that reflects the owner's tastes. With the tone of an erudite guide, Praz shares his story, bringing to life the history of this remarkable house. A fascinating glimpse into the life of a brilliant critic and scholar, The House of Life is a beautifully written memoir that explores the intersection of art and life.
