Stefan Behling, head of studio, Foster+Partners, said, “The joy of the project was to peel back and rediscover the layers of history throughout the building and revealing its eclectic past, which ranges from the historic painted ceilings and the frescoes by Fabio Cipolla, both from the 1890s, to the more recent graffiti artworks by Afro Basaldella. Palazzo Marignoli has seen so much throughout its history, and we feel truly privileged to be able to be part of its newest phase of life. Especially, as Rome is one of my favourite cities in the world.”
Completed in 2021 in Roma, Italy. Situated on Via del Corso, one of the most vibrant streets in Italy’s capital, Apple Via Del Corso brings the historic Palazzo Marignoli back to.
Apple Via del Corso, designed by Foster+Partners, transforms a 19th-century Roman palazzo, creating a juxtaposition of history and minimalist aesthetics.
Foster + Partners' latest project sees the high-profile British firm reprise its winning partnership with Apple to design a new store in Rome. It modernizes a 19th century building while taking great care to restore original artwork found inside.
