This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This 18th century building is one of the few examples of traditional architecture in Messina, Sicily, having survived a destructive earthquake in 1908.
The contemporary refurbishment by David Perri preserves all the existing elements of the building whilst converting the space for contemporary living.
