How it began
Collector Gabriele Salini converted his family's ancestral seventeenth-century palazzo, stripping surfaces back to expose four hundred years of layered paint.
“The only things remotely ‘rough’ about the place are the walls, which have been artfully stripped down to reveal textured strata of centuries-old paper and paint.”
