Lucia Silvestri, creative director of the world-famous jewelry brand BVLGARI, has found her dream home in Puglia, northern Italy. She asked Bepi Povia, an architect and interior designer in Taranto, Italy, to design her 17th-century house in the style of Trulo, and they restored it. This is a historic limestone house with a conical roof, unique to Puglia. It looks like a fairy tale. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the white village, rolling hills and olive farms below.

Silvestri worked closely with local architect and interior designer Bepi Povia to restore the home’s authentic structure, which meant using limestone, the original material, to rebuild the conical roof in the traditional style without mortar. Povia created a sense of openness in the 900-square-foot home by installing generous windows and sliding glass doors in the bedroom and the living room, both of which open onto the courtyard. The whitewashed house is designed in an earthy neutral palette of beige, light brown, white, green, and touches of dark brown, and the cement floors have a white powder ­finish.
