Get a glimpse of the perfect fusion of past and present! This 19th-century Naples apartment in the chic Chiaia neighborhood is the epitome of old-world character with modern charm. 🏛️ architecture history
Both fiercely proud Neapolitans, dell’Uva and D’Apuzzo, a 29-year-old wealth manager, aimed to convey the particular dynamics and aesthetics that define their city via the 3,700-square-foot space in the chic Chiaia neighborhood, juxtaposing ancient and contemporary art, bold and muted hues and historical and modern materials.
Her desire for an accessible elegance informed dell’Uva’s plans; the architect says he sought to “harmonize what’s old and antique with what’s new.” His team of local restorers and artisans stripped away the white paint covering most of the walls, revealing bands of faux-marble motifs as well as several preparatory sketches for the ceiling frescoes that were added to the dining room around 1910.
“They have been in the apartment since it was built,” says dell’Uva. “It was a sign of respect, to keep the portraits alive here.” The paintings, displayed against a blue moiré wall and above a sofa of the same hue and pattern , share a small formal sitting room with a steel-topped coffee table and a marble fireplace, both of dell’Uva’s design, and a pair of 1960s floor lamps by Anders Pehrson.
“I wanted to cut the room in two, leaving a green tint that united everything,” he says. “The bed and the wardrobe had always been there, but I wanted to break the old context and bring it to the present.”
