An exclusive collaboration between FENDI and the French Academy in Rome, with the support of the Mobilier National, for the refurbishment of six historic Salons at Villa Medici

FENDI and the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici unveil their latest collaboration, with the support of the Mobilier National^∗,to refurbish six reception Salons at Villa Medici, including the majestic Grand Salon, offering a new décor that will encourage creativity and contemporary design.

The design vision of Kim Jones, FENDI’s Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear, and Silvia Venturini Fendi, Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear, has led to a metamorphosis that brings to the fore a union between contemporary design and heritage, making Villa Medici a place that perpetuates exceptional know-how while creating the heritage of tomorrow.

The Villa Medici is the result of a historical stratification that gives it a unique architectural and decorative identity, beginning with the Renaissance and continuing through the centuries, right up to the work of the artist Balthus in the 1960s and ‘70s and the designer and scenographer Richard Peduzzi in the early 2000s, both of whom took on the task of running the institution.
