This is an apartment on the first floor of the art gallery of Italian painter Giuseppe Sala. To get to it, you pass through the gallery; you go up steep wooden stairs, and then, the entire first floor is yours. It exudes the charm of an old, oriental house that underwent no more than a minimal renovation. Untreated, rough wooden floorboards, walls washed in deep colours with plaster coming off in a few spots, a bare light bulb hanging from an impossibly high ceiling, an old-fashioned little kitchen with a bare concrete floor – these are little imperfections which, together with the antique furniture (most are finds from oriental bazaars) and decoration with simple flair, add up to perfection. The house has two bedrooms, a large sitting room, a small kitchen and a bathroom with shower. There is one extra room behind the gallery opening to a lovely little courtyard.
