“A slow and entertaining stratification of objects, loves and friendships”. That is how Claudio Lazzarini and Carl Pickering, architects and collectors describe their home, an art filled industrial loft in Trastevere, the historic center of Rome. The 19th century building has a long creative legacy, having played host and studio to many a famous artist, including more recently Cy Twombly, Gino De Domicis and Aleghiero Boetti. It was love at first sight for the couple, who painted the walls white and moved in.
