The Owner has been thoroughly involved into the building process of Latinou and has followed and even leaded the project from the very first handmade drawings to the delivery. He had chartered extensively before getting into this new built project and had therefore a great technical knowledge about superyachts, allowing efficient and constructive discussions with the Benetti shipyard and especially with Antonio Pozzi, Laitnou's Project Manager.

The decoration theme of Latinou is contemporary art deco. The objective of the Owner and Mauro Izzo, the interior decorator of the shipyard, was to create a special and fine atmosphere that would evocate the ambiance and grandeur of the Transatlantic ocean liners from the 1920s and the 1930s (Normandie, Queen Elisabeth, France, Rex), but without going too deep into details though, so as to be able to combine this kind of decoration with a modern touch. A wide range of typical materials has been used, such as stainless steel, fine leather, engraved glass and shagreen better known as Galuchat (ray skin).
