From the press…
IL GIORNALE DI VICENZA – 20 January, 2010:
“Acquarelli “Palladiani” di un artista vicentino per il centenario Vuitton. Il celebre baule della casa francese compie un secolo e viene festeggiato con un volume: le tavole sono firmate da Giovanni Giaconi ” by Roberta Bassan.
DEPARTURES MAGAZINE – March-April, 2009:
“Inspired by a Renaissance master, Giovanni Giaconi creates exquisite architectural renderings for today…You don’t have to own a villa, whether it’s a castle or a town house, a country place, a city home, I can draw it.” by Celia McGee.
GENTE VIAGGI – September, 2008:
“D’estate vive a Creta. Pratica e insegna windsurf alla Freak Station, è lì che l’ho conosciuto, sulla spiaggia di Kouremenos, una manciata di chilometri dalla più famosa Vai, sulla costa nordest dell’isola…” di Marco Pagani.
DCASA – La Repubblica, May 31, 2008:
“La differenza principale è che loro non hanno Palladio, perciò lo sognano proprio perchè è lontano, e spesso, devo riconoscere, lo conoscono meglio di noi italiani” di Francesca Gentile.
TRADITIONAL HOME – September 2005:
For armchair travelers, try Italian watercolorist Giovanni Giaconi’s beautifully illustrated The Villas of Palladio, which includes American architect Kim Williams’ brief descriptions of each villa. by Hugh Howard and Doris Athineos.
COUNTRY LIFE – November 2003:
This is a timely and beautiful book in fact it is so fine that it deserves to be called a volume. The drawings are coloured and highly finished. by Colin Amery.

ARCHITECTURAL RECORD – September 2003:
“…carefully scaled, meticulously detailed, lovingly colored…the watercolors form a wonderful historical record of the villas’ condition today…Giaconi brings a fluid grace to his subject, perhaps acquired while riding the surf.” by Clifford A. Pearson.
