Description
Rif: 1059-230 - THE POSITION
Here Via Arenula opens onto Piazza Cairoli, between Largo Arenula and Largo di Torre Argentina on one side, Lungotevere de' Cenci and the Tiber Island on the other. Via Arenula marks the border between the areas of Campo dei Fiori and the Ghetto, between the Sant'Angelo, Ripa and Regola districts.
THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT The building is a synthesis of the "stratification" typical of the centre: the building on the street is nineteenth-century, beyond the courtyard is the oldest structure - that of the apartment, which overlooks the most secluded streets - probably dates back to the end of the seventeenth century.
The left side of the courtyard is one of the sides of the church of Santa Maria in Publicolis, which over the centuries was incorporated into the residential evolution of the palace.
An elevator has been installed outside the building, which reaches half a floor above/below the landing.
THE APARTMENT
Third and last floor - the garrets above us, undivided condominium property.
The 212 m2 overlook to the east-southeast onto via in Publicolis on the medieval tower of Palazzo Santacroce and to the south-southwest onto via di Santa Maria del Pianto, with a view of Largo Cairoli and the Ghetto; only the balcony overlooks the courtyard. A sage revealed the ancient wooden ceilings. Entering to the left of the entrance is the living room of approximately 40 m2, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
PROJECT
A contemporary reinterpretation would see the entire first room opened up, from the entrance to the external front to create a large representation facing south; the current living room could become the master area: a large entrance/wardrobe and, following, the bedroom overlooking via in Publicolis. The corner room could partly become a large kitchen, directly connected to the reception area - see the third floor plan.
