The living located on the main deck will be fully dedicated to relaxing and entertaining areas.  The galley is in the lower deck between the engine room and main cabin.  Dalla Pieta is not forwarding much details, and as the other 72 and 82 projects offered by the Chinese owned Venice yard this will need the commissioning from an owner for it to become a reality.
