"Inspired by Goethe’s Italian travels, I loved the intellectual, bookish ambience—books, vintage paraphernalia, sepia maps, and ornate mirrors set the tone—and the generous sense of space: even the smallest rooms have a separate sitting room. Attention to detail shines in patterned headboards, statement walls, vintage prints, and thick velvet curtains opening onto cobbled streets and terra-cotta palazzi." - Maresa Manara
