Pucci Gang (Part 3)

Although Pucci is all about vibrant colors, his house is totally the opposite. He opted to use solid and singular color for each of his rooms. In the brown room, for example, the silk draperies and wallcovering were made at Antico Setificio Fiorentino, a silk workshop founded by the Puccis and other families in the 17th century; Emilio Pucci took it over in the 1950s.

The 17th-century bed in Emilio Pucci’s bedroom. Made in Lucca, it was among his favourite pieces. The gilt woodwork on the headboard echoes the embroidery on the canopy.

The dining room of the Palazzo Pucci. The late-18th-century fresco, by Luigi Ademollo, depicts Aenes leaving Troy. Marchesa Pucci and her husband added the Venetian chairs. The crystal glassware was made for the family in the 18th century.

The Wedgwood room was created by an English artist in the late 18th century. The palette and Neoclassical plasterwork were inspired by the signature ceramics. An 18th-century marble sculpture of the goddess Diana is at center.

Where my idol lived with his wife, Marchesa Cristina Pucci di Barsento.
