“Our projects unfold as a dialogue between past and present. Each mark, each material, each presence is intentional – part of a unified vision that honours place, engages memory, and translates the client’s vision into built form”
Creative Direction
The first gesture is a watercolour brushstroke.
Swift, instinctive, transparent — an instant that translates onto paper a colour, an emotion, an intuition.
For Alessia Garibaldi, design is an act of remembering and imagining: two ends of the same temporal line, connecting years of education and long experience, cultivated taste, and a profound, attentive listening to places and their beauty. From this continuum emerge spaces and furnishings conceived as truly bespoke.
Past and future enter dialogue. What encourages this encounter is a constant way of being an architect — where architecture, in its most authentic form, is every day and light, because it quietly shelters life; yet strong and complex, as a privileged interpreter of its time.
Each project by Alessia Garibaldi therefore contains multiple projects, multiple perspectives: a polyphony of spaces, a poetic tension toward art, historical inquiry, and a refined exploration of materials and skilled craftsmanship.
At the origin of everything, the keystone, lies listening to the client — open, sincere, and participatory — so that every decision, even the smallest detail, responds not only to the client’s reasons, but also to the dreams, desires, sensations, and memories that gave rise to the project.
A matter of generosity and balance: offering the best of oneself so that others may fully rediscover themselves.

Art projects
When art meets architecture, life changes. A new intensity emerges, a heightened awareness, because once again it is a question of listening. Alessia Garibaldi draws on her own experience, her collection of art, and her salons in Milan and Venice, where she hosts artists — some of whom, now artist-friends, have been entrusted with site-specific interventions in both contemporary and historic environments.
Her Venice home in Santa Croce becomes a laboratory for poetic experimentation, with sculptural stuccoes by Edoardo Piermattei blooming alongside eighteenth-century frescoes. Nearby, optical panels by Erik Saglia, photographs by Nicolò Montesi, and tutelary icons — the Doge table by Carlo Scarpa and a console by Nanda Vigo — shape the space.
From daily interaction with such interpreters arise generous environments that accommodate clients’ art collections and foster their harmonious growth. When residences become museums, a historic site like Palazzo Bagatti Valsecchi in Milan serves Alessia Garibaldi as a privileged place for reflection. Within these ancient rooms, she conceived the exhibition The Seduction of Beauty: Secret Masterpieces from the 17th and 18th Centuries. At the entrance, a theatrical drapery shimmers in gold-yellow reflections — a spectacle, as always, when a home opens itself to art.
