IN A VILLA AT CASTIGLION­E DELLA PESCAIA, AN ECLECTIC MIX OF FURNISHING­S FOR AN ELEGANT ATMOSPHERE.

- words MARIO GEROSA– photos GIORGIO BARONI

The concept of calm sums up this residence built in the 1970s at Castiglion­e della Pescaia, in Maremma, where the spaces refurbishe­d by Marina Filippova, a cosmopolit­an Russian interior designer, capture the spirit of a place with a forceful identity. The internal layout has been radically revised, merging smaller rooms to form more spacious areas. The vintage atmosphere of the decor reflects the calm aplomb of Seventies style. The pine groves of the context bring aromas and freshness. «Many of the rooms have large glass doors opening directly to the garden», Filippova points out. Green tones predominat­e inside as well, in keeping with the wishes of the clients. Art is another fundamenta­l element in the mix, since the owners have a collection of photograph­s and paintings. «In the living area there is a large photograph by Shirin Neshat, which I have taken as a focal point around which to constructi­on the entire environmen­t». Collectibl­e design also plays an important role in all the spaces. The result is a villa with a vivid identity that tells a story across time, in a pleasant atmosphere of memories, art, culture and the scent of pine trees.
