Claudio Silvestrin’s design for L’Anima intends to give guests the feeling of being in a soulful, expressive place, communicating the emotional qualities of the nourishing, life-giving elements that evolve from water, fire and earth. These elements are beautifully composed in pure, clear, geometric forms, thus bonding abstract symbols with the physical nature of materials.
The natural materials that have been selected – raw, brownish porphyry for the main restaurant walls, limestone travertine for the floor, fine French limestone for the walls in the VIP area, green-toned South American marble, and white leather for the furniture – provide the restaurant with a unique image of solidity, permanence and timeless luxury.

Through a curved passage of limestone walls, the customer perspective is directed towards the wine-tasting room and the Private Dining Room.
The Private Dining space recalls the cells and refectories of medieval monasteries, where distractions do not exist. The room, with its elegant simplicity and natural materials (limestone, fire and water), is the ideal serene space in which the experience of dining becomes detached from the mundane world. |
