Casa Scrovegni Caffè Cibo Vino, Padova (2020).
Located near Giotto’s Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Casa Scrovegni Caffè Cibo Vino is a restaurant designed as a full project: from interior architecture and furniture to brand identity, art direction, and social media.
The design balances a contemporary atmosphere with deep respect for local history and memory. Mirrors amplify the compact interior, while a restored bar counter in corrugated brass and tiles anchors the entrance. A suspended wine display connects the bar to the dining area, where a composition of artworks directly recalls Giotto’s frescoes.
Warm greys, greens, and the signature orange-guava tone reinterpret both the palette of Padua and the restaurant’s past life as an 1980s pizzeria. Elements of the former space — from the pizza oven to re-used table legs — were preserved and reimagined to honour continuity.
To complement the interiors, artist Culetto (Sara de Meo), was commissioned to create Elementario, a series of 22 drawings inspired by Padua’s scientific heritage and the joy of sharing food.
Casa Scrovegni becomes a place where tradition and modernity coexist with ease: warm, witty, and unmistakably Paduan.
