Palazzo Daniele set to open in Puglia, Italy
Far from the well-trodden tourist trails, Palazzo Daniele is set in the sleepy, under-the-radar village of Gagliano del Capo in Puglia's exquisite Salento region, renowned for its charming blend of neoclassical, Baroque and Byzantine architecture. A gateway to both the Adriatic's rocky coastline and the sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea, Salento is also the setting for the annual international art show Capo d'Arte. Originally constructed in 1861, the year of Italy's reunification, the stately palazzo was built by the locally renowned architect Domenico Malinconico in the neoclassical style with a series of courtyards and lush Mediterranean landscaping. Reshaped and reimagined by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba of award-winning Milanese design studio Palomba Serafini Associati, Palazzo Daniele emerges as a harmonious dialogue between sublime minimalism and 19th-century splendor. Inspired by the idea of absence, the Palombas stripped back the interiors while preserving the structure's architectural integrity through the restoration of ornate frescos and original flooring, creating an exceptional backdrop for the palazzo's carefully-curated art collection. Site-specific works commissioned by Petrucci, such a Luigi Presicci lamp, Nicolas Party stools, Roberto Cuoghi sculpture, and Carla Accardi's lithography, sit alongside ancestral portraits and neoclassical design motifs.
