LEFT Franco is a keen gardener and the land
around the farmhouse is productive once more;
the display domes are mid 19th-century and
are lled with cowrie and cone snail shells; the
simple exterior of the house has been sensitively
restored; the antique scent bottles were originally
used by perfumers in Grasse. Franco bought them
from interiors shop Raw in Milan
