beauty 1 1 2 2 Piero Lissoni finds inspiration in the Italian landscape By ALISSA PONCHIONE Photography by TOMMASO SARTORI For the design of the Parc Hotel Billia- the modern property next to the Grand Hotel Billia and part of the larger Saint-Vincent Resort & Casino-Piero Lissoni didn't have to look hard for inspiration, considering the 119-room property's stunning surrounding environment and Italian Alpine views. "Saint-Vincent is a magnificent area," explains Lissoni, founder of Milan-based Lissoni Associati, "and close to Aosta Valley, one of the most important cities during the Roman Empire. The idea was to have a mountain feeling revised in a contemporary and stylish way." 1.
