This was our response to generate the atmosphere related to the city that we are familiar with, and that the young couple asked.
For the floor we chose the monochrome of cooked Fornace Brioni, finished material with a second wood burning cooking that characterizes it with an atypical dark gray color. For the walls we kneaded, with Matteo Brioni driving, clay and aggregates such as dust of red marble, cotton, along with natural dyes finished with black soap with citrus fruits, which bring home the scent of lemon and orange gardens of the Romans " .
