Arched windows rise the full height of the room, framing weathered brick and shutters across the calle, while a chandelier catches the light filtering through sheer curtains. A surprising choice for a Venetian dining room where Murano glass is expected, this one though is gilded wrought iron, echoing the fer forgé gates standing guard outside palazzi entrances or private gardens.

The volume alone is the architecture’s own gesture of importance, and so the envelope stays quiet in response: Marmorino walls in the softest beige, wooden window frames, and terrazzo floors in warm coral grounding the space.
