Everyone wants her: who is Lina Cavalieri?

Poet Gabriele D'Annunzio dedicated her a copy of his novel "il Piacere" (the Pleasure) and described her as "a Venus on Earth". Davide Campari used her as an excuse to leave on his business trips. Gina Lollobrigida played her character in the movie "The most beautiful woman in the world", in 1955, winning the Donatello David as best actress. And when Piero Fornasetti saw her face in a late 19th century magazine, he fell in love with her enigmatic look. Since then he made screenprint of her face on every ceramic he produced.

From the sea to your home: seashells between modern look and DIY

Don't think we are only following the recent fashion trends, or that we want to go hand in hand with the summer season, today we want to talk about seashells especially because we think that they are the symbol of how the house, even that of a small creature, can and should be beautiful and refined. Here are a few tips on how to bring a little sea decor to your home.

Rustic style in the round

We can almost say that it is as old as man, the rustic style is possibly the most antique of all styles. Yet it holds its charm even in a global world like ours. The arrival of summer makes us think of villas immersed in unspoilt nature, where from a loggia or a window, you can breathe the countryside's aromas, the scents of plants, flowers and fruits.

Cabinets of Curiosity

If you think that unicorns, mermaids, taxidermy and rare collections of shells and butterflies are just a fashion of our time, you are wrong. Far from being a modern invention, they have been the core of Wunderkammers in royal palaces, churches and aristocratic residences since the Renaissance.

A bar corner that makes it home

The corner bar is a must to make your house our own and at intOndo we think that you can't do without even in the smallest apartments.

Fashion that looks up to design

Although this negative aspect is true, it must be said in their favor that both lead to change and transformation. One can think of the words of the physical scholar Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier: "nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed".
