Cabana Presents: Portrait of a Home with Umberto Pasti in Tangier

The House of a Lifetime: Writer and horticulturalist, Umberto Pasti, has spent a lifetime gathering and curating a truly unique and museum-worthy collection of objects, textiles and art. Umberto's magical, timeless home in Tangier holds a great many of them, each with their own story, and is surrounded by lush, wild gardens. Although he has cultivated these himself, he describes himself not as a gardener, but a "plant collector". "I love plants to be happy together," he says. "I want them to be in a very good mood...I feel the need to live surrounded by happy creatures."

Join Umberto for a very special, intimate tour of his spectacular house and gardens. This beautiful film was shot by Luca Cepparo for Cabana Magazine.

I sometimes shoot interiors and Pasti's home made my eyes pop out. Making beautiful images there would be like, as they say, shooting fish in a barrel.
