"[Paolo Pejrone]'s new book Private Italian Gardens (Mondadori Electa) ­highlights this illustrious past, but it can barely hint at the future: Pejrone is busier than ever, tending to a grand estate on Capri, a Renzo Piano–designed hospital in Bologna, and a historic plot near Piazza San Marco in Venice."
