Under silvery moonlight, the Doric temple in Carlo Marchiori'-'s garden looks as if it were hewn from Carrara marble. Fluted columns pose heroically on a romantically crumbling foundation. Soaring above are elaborate friezes and fragments of traditional entablature. There'-'s even a broken pediment. All that'-'s missing is the oracle. Mr. Marchiori . . . offers up an instant classical education in his villa and garden. His five-acre domain, which he calls Ca'-?Toga, sits on the banks of the Napa River in the rocky northern reaches of the Napa Valley. Passers-by can glimpse the richly colored villa across a vineyard. -<i>New York Times</i>
