Ferruccio Ferragamo is chairman of the Ferragamo empire - shops throughout the world selling luxury goods to the very wealthy.
Seven years ago he purchased a medieval ruin south of Florence called Il Borro. Since then his wife has devoted most of her time and energy to restoring the ruin with infinite care and love to its former splendour as a palace.
No cost was spared to restore the house and garden to all its original splendour. Architects, designers, decorators were engaged from all over the world. The result is a monument of astonishing beauty, admired all over Italy and visited by countless people.
'Seven Years In Tuscany' is Amanda Ferragamo's account of how this restoration came about.
