Choices by design

The project involves the installation of three Pivato doors, from the Inversa Collection.

The model chosen for the doors is 286, a design by Michele Marcon that is part of the models with Bas-relief of the Wood Line.

The slight sculptural sign carved into the door enhances the decoration in delicate contrast to the coplanarity of the door along the walls. The design of the model is effectively juxtaposed with the handle: it is an optical play of concave and convex.

The peculiarity of this collection is the full coplanarity between the door leaf and the doorframe in external room view: thanks to the reversal of the opening concept, the effect obtained in the room is one of total harmony, without interruption.

The city of Catania

Catania is a fascinating city on the east coast of Sicily, Italy, with a rich history dating back to antiquity. Its main features include the Baroque architecture of its historic center, with the majestic Duomo dedicated to Santa Agata as one of its focal points.

The city lies at the foot of Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in Europe, offering spectacular hiking opportunities and unique scenery. The local cuisine is renowned for its fresh ingredients, such as fish, citrus fruits, and pistachios.

Catania is also known for its cultural vibrancy, with regular events, festivals and performances that make the city's atmosphere lively and welcoming.

Fun fact: Did you know that Catania is often called the "City Born of Fire" because of its location at the foot of Mount Etna volcano, which is still active? Lava flows from Mount Etna have often threatened the city throughout its history.
