Casale Fontibucci has been featured, with numerous illustrations and an extensive description, in the book "The 70's House" edited by Wiley and sons. The book describes the most important houses of the 70s; "... there are good reasons to suppose that the decade produced som very significant houses in many different modes, and that these pointed the way from the Modern to the Post-Modern". Casale Fontibucci ... was, "by repute, originally the home of Michelangelo's stonmason. The site of the house lies on a hill commanding a view down the Valley of the Arno to Florence in the distance past the pictoresque array of hilltop palazzi and villas in between". |
