La Mia Casa Magazines
Seven vintage 'La Mia Casa' ( My Home) magazines are my lastest ebay score!
Could there be a better source for 70's interior decor, than to go back to the original magazines of the era? And Italian 70's Magazines nonetheless!
The country responsible for giving us Kartell, among many other wonderful things.

The country responsible for giving us Kartell, among many other wonderful things.
My knowledge of the Italian language however, exists mainly only in relation to food - mozzarella, salami, pastrami....but with the help of Google Translate, I will endeavour to guide you through this Italian 70's pictorial wonderland.
(I am abit excited, can you tell?!)
Here are some of my favourite images thus far, from the May and October 1970 issues, but please pop back often as there will be much more 70's goodness from La Mia Casa to come. Enjoy!
