This is a collection of photographs showcasing the mansion of Elsa Peretti, an Italian jewelry designer and fashion model who has been active for many years since joining Tiffany & Co. as a designer in 1974. The photographs are taken by French photographer Estelle Hanania.

"I look out over a surreal landscape, where the sea and the sky blend together. Elsa's Saracen tower stands tall and majestically amidst a patch of scrub. And in the distance, as far as the eye can see, there are more Saracen towers." - Dominique Nabokov

Step into a wondrous world. Peretti revolutionized jewelry design in the 20th century, and his creations are still worn by big stars around the world today. This book takes you on a journey through the two magnificent and opulent homes of this late, great designer. Hanania captures the shimmering brilliance of the terracotta that adorns the spaces in mystical photographs, showcasing the untouched beauty of Torre Avoltore, a towering mansion in the Tuscan port town of Porto Ercole, and then transporting us to the majestic Rome where Peretti grew up.

An essay by longtime business collaborator Stefano Palumbo serves as a foreword that centers around Peretti's creative relationship with Italian designer and architect Lorenzo Mongiardino, while photographer Dominique Nabokov closes the book with a brief message recalling his visit to the tower in 2001.
