Inspirations

A significant and careful restoration gives back a piece of history to its city.

The restaurant Il Passetto, a landmark and the first to serve Ancona’s typical cuisine, has been given a makeover to return to its former glory. With bold choices and respect for the city’s strong soul and character, which enhances its unique places, it was a rigorous, contemporary renovation far from the stereotypes of current fashion trends.

Ideas of living

Little time and lots of goodwill. The challenge of reviving the city’s past magic while providing modern comfort was a success.

The floor – Bronzo essence, an oak with a brushing finish from the Boschi di Fiemme collection – was the focus point: its veins recall the sand after the last tide has rolled out of the beach, and the finishes enhance the tree’s beauty. Inside, you can feel at home; the floor almost suggests walking barefoot. Outside, you can hear the sea; inside, one wanders, almost hypnotised by the kitchen smells as on the deck of an old sailing ship.
