Cafe Canova

The reconstruction of the "Canova cafe" placed on one of the most famous place in Roma "Piazza del Popolo". It involved renovating the inner spaces, as well as the service area and the garden to make the place more comfortable and inviting. Because of the historical context the project joins together contemporary interior with the history of the place. Four different theme have been used. The entrance, such a representative area, with the long counter, welcomes the guests. Next to the bar, the so called ?giardino segreto? (secret garden) shows itself as an illuminated box, made of glass. Along this box, a green area which gives name to the place. The third theme is dedicated to Federico Fellini, who daily visited the Canova bar the corridor to go to "Fellini hall" is made of illuminated bands and niches. The last theme involves the service areas with bathroom and kitchen. A warm light, placed over the guest tables and indirect light to give character to the space are involved.
