Casa Carlo Mollino

I was recommended to visit the Casa Carlo Mollino, which is indeed a memorable experience: an apartment which Mollino decorated, but didn’t live in, and his friends did not know of its existence when he died in 1973.  It might have been sold, but was taken on by an engineer, Aldo Vandoni, as his office, before being acquired and restored in 1999 by Fulvio and Napoleone Ferrari who maintain it as a shrine.

Mollino’s taste was idiosyncratic, highly eclectic and much influenced by his interest in the occult and surrealism:-
