Paola and Angelo’s Home

In Grottaglie, a small Italian town in Puglia known for its deep ceramic tradition, art director and creative Paola Nerilli and StudioCromie gallery owner Angelo Milano have made a home rooted in local heritage without being defined by it. Bare stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and arched openings carry echoes of the Arab and Byzantine influences that shaped the region centuries ago. Angelo, who grew up here, constructed much of the space himself, designing the hand-painted tiles that define each room. Together, their flair for colour, contemporary design, and art shapes a home that is uniquely their own, with HAY woven throughout.
