'Mbriana

Mysterious 'Mbriana like a legendary creature

According to Neapolitan popular belief, the bella 'mbriana is the benevolent spirit of the house. She looks like a beautiful woman, sometimes appearing among the curtains moved by the wind on a sunny day. However, if she feels to be seen, she turns into a gecko or a butterfly. She is a benign presence, sheltering the family serenity, but do never offend her, otherwise she will take revenge. In the past, Neapolitans used to put an extra seat at the table for her and, if you were planning to move or renovate your house, you had to talk about it outdoors, so as not to make her angry. The warm and welcoming spirit of the beautiful 'Mbriana is re-proposed by the works of art that enrich the suite. The aluminum panel decorated with delicate butterflies by Danilo Ambrosino inspired by one of the shapes that the spirit of the house loves to take in front of humans, while Antonella Raio's lacquered bronze sculpture takes up the doors of Neapolitan houses.
