OVO - slow travel

Rating: 
OVO is born from the dream of living in a house to meet friends and learn lives, languages and smiles, from the desire to bring in Napoli thousand of new eyes that multiply its wonder. We fell in love with the high ceilings and large balconies that overlook the archaeological excavations of the ancient Greek walls, with a square full of trees and music, with the view of the green Capodimonte hill topped by his Palace. We wanted at home what we like about Napoli and we did thanks to craftsmen who love and reinvent tradition. So our house is illuminated by the same lanterns that you will find in Rua Catalana, the street of neapolitan blacksmiths, designed by the imaginative architect Riccardo Dalisi. Ciro Pepe, our artist blacksmith, forged over twenty large lanterns, a huge safety pin, a sword decorated with swirls iron and small sculptures in the balustrades of the stairs. Alessandro, and Gennaro have made the kitchen which celebrates the second "b" of "bed and breakfast", comfortable beds in solid with small tables, the piles reception and all the wood there. OVO is happy of its hand-crafted tiles, of which about one thousand hand-painted to reproduce the ancient decorations that make precious cloisters and historic houses. The large canvas on the couch, the elephant Lele, was designed by architect Massimiliano Lombardi, a great friend. Luca Davino is a painter, engraver and watercolorist. He is a happy traveler, enthusiastic about Napoli has painted for us four dreamy watercolors. The passion for design led other little things like the sofa Maralunga (1973 Vico Magistretti), the chairs Hay (About A Chair, Hee Welling; 1954-1959 Poul M. Volther), the Nessino lamps (1967 Giancarlo Mattioli), the Dalù lamps (1969 Vico Magistretti), the egg lamp (1972, Historical Archive FontanArte), a neapolitan nineteenth toilet, two Tuscan antique chests. Everything has been carefully hatched and the name could not have been that OVO (egg).
