Lorenzo Ciompi is back to share with readers the most beautiful homes he has explored. This month it is a Roman apartment in Parioli, renovated by architect Mariella Paciolla. The living room, previously mortified by a series of partitions, is articulated, after the intervention, in a play of light and shade, spaces like matryoshkas, like boxes without sides, with oak parquet mounted in a French herringbone pattern and low horseshoe sofas in dove gray. Two neutral tones in the kitchen: milk corian and gray oak, with the strong sign of the steel of the hood and burners while, in the master bathroom, a spacious travertine tub recalls the ancient tepidarium. A combination of lazy and discreet elegance that recalls a piece by Claude Debussy: Prélude à l'après midi d'un faune.
