In the luminous living area, a grand custom table anchors the space beneath a vintage Barovier & Toso chandelier from the 1930s–40s, an emblem of Venetian craftsmanship. Just steps away, the iconic Quadrifoglio floor lamp, designed by Gae Aulenti for Guzzini in the 1970s, brings a sculptural modernist contrast that integrates effortlessly with the space’s warm materiality. Even transitional areas – often overlooked in residential design – become showcases of intention: the stairwell, for instance, is graced by a Vico Magistretti table for Cattelan (1980), its travertine base and crystal top evoking a play of solidity and lightness that feels emblematic of the project’s ethos. The suites continue this interplay of heritage and innovation. Each is conceived as a unique environment where the palette – drawn from nature’s own lexicon of leafy greens, sea blues, and sun-faded neutrals – enhances the architectural volumes without overwhelming them.

Materials such as velvet, woven textures, and lacquered woods are used to create tactile depth, while furnishings like the Leggera chair by Giò Ponti for Cassina add iconic clarity to workspaces and reading corners. Every room evokes a dialogue between eras, a symphony where every note is intentional. This dedication to detail extends beyond decor into the very philosophy of hospitality. Villa Radici is more than accommodation – it is an experience of habitation, one that reflects the Augustus Hotel & Resort’s pioneering model of “ospitalità diffusa.”

First established in the 1960s with the transformation of Villa Agnelli into an elite summer residence, this concept blends the privacy and warmth of a private home with the full-service comfort of a five-star hotel. Villa Radici reaffirms this approach, offering guests not just rooms, but a lived-in aesthetic of beauty, silence, and discretion. The atmosphere is one of cultivated intimacy: luxurious, yes, but never ostentatious – designed for those who value the art of subtlety and the richness of place.

As Forte dei Marmi continues to evolve, Villa Radici stands as a touchstone – a reminder that true innovation lies not in erasure, but in thoughtful continuity. Its reawakening is both a personal and cultural gesture, linking the private memory of a family with the public identity of a destination. With its opening to guests in the summer of 2025, the villa invites travelers to inhabit not simply a space, but a story. One woven from architecture, nature, history, and design. One that speaks of roots, and yet feels utterly of the present. In a world too often focused on novelty, Villa Radici offers something far more enduring: the luxury of resonance.
