  • Harold Mario Mitchell Acton (5 juillet 1904 à la Villa La Pietra – 27 février 1994) est un écrivain, universitaire, sinologue, collectionneur d'art et dilletante anglo-américain qui passa la majeure partie de sa vie en Toscane. On a cru, à tort, que c'était lui qui avait inspiré le personnage d'Anthony Blanche dans le roman d'Evelyn Waugh, Retour à Brideshead (1945). Tout comme Bernard Berenson quarante ans avant lui, Harold Acton fut l'une des personnalités les plus célèbres des « Anglo-Américains de Toscane » et sa propriété de La Pietra devint le lieu de passage obligé de toute une société intellectuelle, mondaine et cosmopolite, à l'instar de la Villa I Tatti en son temps.
