Refurbishment of historic spaces
Re-enchanting Villa Medici
How do you turn Villa Medici into a space that is receptive to contemporary knowledge, while still preserving the history and spirit of the place? As far back as 1833, Horace Vernet took a bold step by creating the “Turkish Room”, a reflection of an era fascinated by an imaginary Orient. In the 20th century, Balthus was the first to embrace a contemporary approach in the 1960s, followed by Richard Peduzzi in the early 2000s. A new chapter began in 2022 with Re-enchanting Villa Medici, a vast redevelopment campaign showcasing contemporary design, craftsmanship and the restored heritage of Villa Medici.
