King's Study, Villa La Petraia, Florence, Tuscany, Italy

King's Study, used by King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy, decorated with French velvet upholstery and wall covering from the Modena Ducal Palace, in the Villa La Petraia, a 14th century Villa Medicea at Castello, Florence, Tuscany, Italy. A little window connects the room to the chapel, and on the table is a reproduction of Trajan's Column, 1800-24, in metal. The villa was bought by Cosimo I de Medici in the 16th century and his son Ferdinand carried out remodelling on the building with architect Bernardo Buontalenti, 1531-1608. The villa is now a museum and forms part of the Medici UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
