Des Épigraphes for Casa Monti and Manfredi Gioacchini

There is something surprisingly Roman about discretion in maximalism. Far from the grandiosity of monuments, we can observe cultivated intimacy all around and even more in a well-kept room.

At Casa Monti, that dichotomy is architectural. The colors and the textures are assembled and fused with a particular rhythm, making you feel like in a modern artist’s residency.  It was within this atmosphere that the work of Manfredi Gioacchini was unveiled.

Manfredi’s universe is deeply Roman and intimate. His compositions hold tension; between stillness and movement, between geometry and breath. A sense of precision in the composition of each picture. And a suspended feeling, as if caught in the second just before something shifts.

The artist curated a selection of artworks to place inside Casa Monti, as a conversation between Italy, the tradition of Grand Tour and what luxury hospitality really means nowadays. 

One Hundred Gestures of Memory

For the vernissage, Des Épigraphes created one hundred limited-edition postcards as a gift for guests. A simple and deliberate gesture. 

Each postcard carried an image of the collaboration and an epigraph written for the occasion. For Des Épigraphes, this souvenir felt natural; words reflecting on the rare alchemy that occurs when a room becomes a vessel for creation.

Printed in a limited series of one hundred, they were meant to extend the evening beyond itself. To allow guests to take something intangible home, printed and paired with our signature envelope.

The limited edition postcard

Casa Monti has always stood at the intersection of hospitality and culture; as an active participant. The vernissage of Manfredi Gioacchini affirmed that position offering something subtler: coherence.

And for Des Épigraphes, coherence is where memory begins.
