Casa Florio: Studio Didea Blends History with Modernity in Palermo

Studio Didea has refurbished an apartment in Palermo, Italy, that celebrates its occupants’ contrasting professional backgrounds while highlighting its original decorative elements. The home is called Casa Florio – a portmanteau of its owners’ surnames Savarino and Lupo – nodding to entrepreneur Emanuele Savarino’s tech company SaLu Suites Systems, run with his wife, Floriana Savarino. The couple commissioned Palazzo Malaspina owners Fabio Rocca and archiphilosophy to look after their holiday let and digital detox retreat.
