You bought the house. Let's make it home.
Old Italian houses are gorgeous and stubborn.
Thick stone walls, uneven floors, tiny historic windows, a kitchen where a fireplace used to be. You're often hundreds of miles away, juggling a geometra, a builder who speaks no English, and a Pinterest board that doesn't quite fit a 300-year-old room. It's hard to know where the sofa even goes — let alone what to buy.
Someone who lives here
I understand Italian homes from the inside — the proportions, the trades, local sourcing, and what actually works in a centuries-old building.
Designed around the building
I work with the history of the space, not against it — honoring original materials while making the house work for modern life.
