EXCLUSIVE · BY PRIVATE APPOINTMENT
An invitation into
Rome’s creative world.
A personally confirmed encounter with architect, engineer and designer Alessandro Palladino, shaped around Via Margutta, afternoon light and a private Mercedes-Benz V-Class journey.

One complete private price
EUR 800 total private experience
Approximately EUR 160 per guest when 5 guests travel. This is an indicative comparison only: the service is reserved privately, not sold by the seat.
A Rome few visitors are introduced to
Not a showroom stop.
A meeting with the imagination behind the work.
“The privilege is not simply seeing the object. It is hearing why it exists from the person who imagined it.”
This private half-day moves beyond Rome’s familiar monuments and into Via Margutta, the historic street of artists, ateliers and cinematic memory. The vehicle, timing and pace belong only to the guest.
When Alessandro Palladino personally confirms the requested date, the visit becomes an uncommon opportunity to meet the creative behind the collection: to hear how an idea begins, why a material is chosen and how architecture can become a collectible object.
The featured creative
Alessandro Palladino.
Across architecture, design and art.
His practice moves between architecture, engineering, interiors, yacht design, furniture and art. The common thread is an attention to form, materials and solutions made for a specific space rather than a mass-market catalogue.
DESCO Via Margutta brings that approach into a collection of customizable mini-kitchens, combining digitally controlled production, hand-finishing and designs that range from Roman 1950s references to rare woods, marble and contemporary compact living.
Independent design references
DESCO is listed by the official Via Margutta association and has appeared in Milan Design Week programming and independent design showcases. Reference details are available through Roma Limo Services for confirmed professional requests.
The venue, host and content of each private visit are subject to direct availability and written confirmation for the requested date.
The collection as a journey through time
Seven signatures.
One evolving idea of living.
The names move from Leonardo to the Dolce Vita and onward to 2040. Together they turn a highly functional object into a visual story about Italian invention, memory, elegance and the future.

Behind the finish
Luxury is the work
you do not see at first glance.
The collection’s polish begins with exact cutting, technical precision, hand-finishing and careful assembly. These are not anonymous objects dropped into a room; their value lies in how design and skilled making answer a particular space.
During a confirmed appointment, materials and selected pieces give the conversation something tangible: guests can look more closely, ask questions and understand the difference between decoration and considered design.
Preferred afternoon · limited private access

We coordinate the V-Class, appointment logistics, the corresponding Il Margutta reservation and the operational brief without stepping into the agency’s relationship with its guest.
