Her favorite space — which is also the one she uses the most — is the entrance hall, with its three sofas. She can keep an eye on everything in the house from this central position. During the renovation, Guida realized that a good lighting design was critical in this wide, high-vaulted space. She consulted architect Alessandra Bia about installing sculptural lighting pieces, such as one in this room from Catellani & Smith (see the metal disk lamp on the left wall in the first photo). Neutral colors dominate in the interior. In the foreground, an old chest acquired at the Porta Portese flea market in Rome welcomes visitors. The flooring is refinished terra-cotta tile.
