Bellissima: An Australian-Italian Affair

Collette Dinnigan's world — interiors, gardens, food, art, curiosities, and travel — across two countries she calls home. Bellissima moves between Italy and Australia with photographer Earl Carter, from Naples to Turin, capturing the textures, colours, and light that shape Dinnigan's design eye. Private interiors are opened up for the first time: her homes in Bowral and Darling Point, a Rome apartment, and a holiday house in Puglia.

Beyond her own spaces, Dinnigan brings us into the worlds of friends and collaborators — Mimi Thorisson in Turin, Neil Perry in Sydney, Louise Olsen and Luke Sciberras in country New South Wales — sharing recipes, art, and the particular warmth of creative lives well lived. A generous, visually rich book from one of Australia's most distinctive design voices.
