When you’re in your usual surroundings, your usual habitat and life, you don’t pay attention to things. I never paid attention to my childhood home. But it’s something I started to be aware of once I moved to London in 2012, when my kids were four and two. I wasn’t working, I was a full-time mum and, in that year, I started to become nostalgic, not...
When I started decorating my new home in London, friends would say, “Gosh, you really went for Italian colours!” And it suddenly made me more aware. I began looking at the choices I made. They are all about our childhood. The streets we walk in, the churches we see, the colour that the cities have. Our surroundings play a whole role in influencing ...
Most buildings have warm colours. Tobacco in Bologna, yellow saffrons in Rome or terracotta in Florence – fall colours. Instinctively, I respond to that colour palette of warm terracotta, ochre, greens and deep burgundy.
It’s colour first and then texture. I always go for the touch and feel of a fabric, whether it’s for a sofa or a cushion. I love mixing and layering colours and patterns. And I’m not very good at throwing things away. Every object has a story, so I love to recycle things.

It’s a patchwork, it’s where my life brought me. It’s a mix of pieces that I get made and a lot of pieces that I carry with me. My father was a collector of objects, and when he passed away I inherited a few things. Some have just been sitting in a warehouse, but recently I’ve been getting them out. I always love going to flea markets, but since be...
I love to move things around, changing a room with a new throw on the sofa, or changing the cushions or a wall colour. Vintage pieces bring multiple stories into a room. I love mixing materials, combining wicker with my collections of vintage ceramics and textiles.
Renzo Mongiardino. He decorated my mother’s apartment and my grandmother’s house. He was also a close family friend. I grew up hearing him speak about the houses he was working on. Another huge influence is Cy Twombly and his houses. He was never afraid of going big with proportions. He would get massive statues and sculptures that would occupy a r...

15 de mar. de 2024 · It is the childhood home of Cabana founder and Editor-in-Chief, Martina Mondadori, and was decorated by the great Italian decorator, Renzo Mongiardino, completed in 1978. Mongiardino was a close friend of Martina’s mother, Paola Zanussi, and so he considered the space a playground for all of his best stylistic tricks and techniques.
