The use of religious images and ancient sculptures makes for a very royal bathing experience, while the purple ceiling boards bring unexpected colors to the sun-drenched room.

Style leader Marella Agnelli, the owner of this country house, counted on the French decorator Stéphane Boudin to carry out this project. It is a restored space that has become this incredible hall decorated to resemble Chinese Gallery. This sumptuous room is the heart of Villar Perosa.

About 40 miles north of Venice, in the town of Oderzo, Villa Bucciol, is a house that was transformed by Studio Peregalli. In the image above we can see the living room, the armchairs are dressed in arras tapestry. In addition, the ceiling chandelier is made of 17th-century gilt-wood.
