Centuries of style mingle in the Rome living room of interior designer Livia Rebecchini and her family; the apartment occupies the top two floors of a 16th-century palace. Rebecchini created the open staircase, the metal chair, and the sofa, which is covered in linen corduroy and accented with striped pillows. The desk is 18th-century Italian; the large painting is by Aaron Young. A stringlike sculpture by Roberta Silva and a candle in the shape of a seated Chairman Mao are arranged on the cocktail table.
