The Netuno Bona is the esteemed residence of the Netuno family in the Urbs Roma, an imposing and yet still graceful structure. Its walls of smooth travertine gleam softly in the sunlight, and tall, arched windows framed by colourful mosaics allow light to spill into the spacious interior. Inside, the atrium is a serene space, where a marble pool reflects the light filtering in through a skylight and potted plants create an interior garden. The hallways are lit by bright sconces and lead to various bedrooms and studies, each lined with shelves of scrolls and outfitted with cushioned reading alcoves and wooden desks. The central garden, hidden from the outside world, is a sanctuary of tall trees and winding vines, with a quiet path leading to a small, private shrine. The air here seems to be permanently still with the quiet of ambition, and there is an expectation of order in all things.
