Piazza Navona quarter
Navona "Signora", luxury town house with terrace
The foyer and the corridor
|
|
The foyer and the corridors are one of the noteworthy aspects of this lovely property.
The foyer or lobby is situated just past the entry door, and it continues with a corridor to the master bedroom, bathroom and kitchen |
The foyer is ample and its striking feature are the lavish furniture and its paintings. You find two small tables (most useful to leave objects) with a chair, an antique, beautiful desk complete with mirror and its chair, a set of three finest reading lamps (near the desk), a wooden hall or clothes stand, an intriguing carpet, another elegant chair, and many paintings.
The opposite view of the foyer enables to have a glimpse also of the second bedroom and of the sitting room |

As you can see in the photo, the foyer, like all the property, displays the beautiful large ancient chestnut architraves, and the beams and planks of the roof, stil l of chestnut.
As you can also see in the above photo, to the left you find a window, which enables to have a glimpse of the terrace and of the neighboring palaces (right photo).

The foyer and the corridor are lavishly decorated with paintings (right photo).
At first look they appear to be a collection of paintings of different schools and eras. Instead, they reveal the owner's taste on one hand for surrealist paintings, and on the other hand for more classical schools, in particular of the 16th century, with its sharp contrast of light and dark, and vivid colours.
As you would expect, some paintings reflect persaonal experiences of the owner. |
|
Also in the corridor to the master bedroom you find another collection of paintings, more imaginative than the set of the foyer.
Some paintings resemble the Modigliani school (the 20th century painter with a preference for surrealist women bodies), while one is a Chinese print of ancient times. Finally you find a caricature of the owner. |
