"The original owner of this 280-square-foot apartment, the Italian poet Angela Panaro, spent her life surrounded by words - they weren't just tools, but places to return to when the world became too much."
"Bruno's interior design strategy - which took inspiration from Russian nesting dolls - wasn't just about optimizing square footage. It was also about changing perspectives - sometimes you don't need more space, you just need to think differently about the space you have."
"Angela was only able to inhabit this place for a short time. On August 4, 2025, the poet passed away. Today, however, the house is still used by her husband, Antonio Stecca, and their daughter Mariachiara."
Angela Panaro, an Italian poet, lived in a 280-square-foot apartment in Eboli, designed by architect Luca Bruno. The space was minimal, containing only essentials like a desk and books. Bruno's design approach, inspired by Russian nesting dolls, focused on changing perspectives rather than merely optimizing space. Although Panaro could only inhabit the apartment briefly before her passing in 2025, her husband and daughter continue to feel her presence within the home.
