Today, in this posts, i would like to join two of my favourite topics: the love for my city and that one for the furnishings. I didn't believe, until few moments ago, that was possible for me join these two subject, but i was wrong!
Have you ever seen that beautiful furniture characterized by rounded and delicate shape the so called style of "
Luigi XIV"? Would you have never thought to find, in the center of Rome,
a district where the building have the same shape of that furniture?! Try to imagine.... giant drawers, four plan high!! And well...Rome astonished me once again....we are in the district called "
Pigna", in the square of Sant'Ignazio.

The buildings that look onto the incredibly beautiful square of Sant'Ignazio are the famous “
canterani”, thus depreciatively named by Filippo Raguzzini because they were made in the shape of the furniture of that time (1650-1750). Despite early critics they are now much admired.

To have an apartment in one of those "
canterani" is today a sign of distinction, but few people can today boast themselves for having a similar fortune!!
Tastes change, what today is ugly will become beautiful tomorrow!
