ROMEO NAPOLI
History & Story
Dating back to last century, the building, Palazzo Lauro, was the historic headquarters of the naval fleet of Captain Achille Lauro, a towering figure in the maritime life of Europe. ROMEO Napoli is designed by one of the fathers of Japanese architecture: Kenzo Tange who won the Pritzker Prize in 1987, the most prestigious award of the profession.
Glass façades represent the transparency of the sea; curvilinear shapes evoke the waves; the lack of structural barriers deceives the eye by giving the impression of being on a ship’s deck.
