It is a family that often talk all at the same time. The daughter
studies in Madrid; the son is training to be an actor and already
working in the field. Two enthusiastic parents, who speak of them
with contagious excitement. “Homes,” says Antonello, “should
always be in progress. You have to change the furnishings, move
things around for a different feeling in order to evolve”. Gennarina
nods in agreement. “I try, at all costs, to live in the space without
filling it up and staying in touch with what is necessary without
giving in to the urge to accumulate”. The home is a place to think,
they both say, both working in the art world. “When I look out the
window and see the Girolamini complex, I think about the people
who have been there to study, to dig deep in the books. It contains
one of the most important historic libraries in the world, three
churches, the cloister of the orange trees, and a picture gallery”.
They have purchased a house that may not be forever but they
seem to love it very much. “Especially in the afternoon, and
obviously in the summer, there is so much light that you have to
defend yourself; and when we shut the shutters, it is wonderful to
live in the cool darkness, always with the certainty that the light we
seek is there, and we are keeping it out by choice. Just open the
shutters, and it all comes flooding back in”. Antonello and
Gennarina are waiting to resume the moving journey, sooner or
later.
