The “House on the Hill,” as the Turinese call it, was the Carlo Mollino residence in which he kept all his most intimate treasures. The house is filled with objects both symbolic (the bed in the form of a boat on a floor of blue) and expressive (skins of a zebra and a leopard; velvet curtains; small, glittering mirrors; Japanese sliding doors). According to Fulvio Ferrari, who has organized the home as a museum, Mollino conceived of the mansion as a coffin, putting into it all that he most highly regarded.
