La Casa del Serpentello

A Piedmont house facade hand-tiled by its owner, one unrepeated design at a time

La Casa del Serpentello

Starting in 1925, a man named Luciano Serpentello began covering his house in the Piedmont village of Vignale Monferrato with ceramic tiles — not a repeating pattern, but a mosaic where he designed every single tile by hand, so that no two anywhere on the facade match. Decades of one man’s private, obsessive decorating turned an ordinary village house into the town’s most photographed wall.
