Italia Liberty
Rimini, Italy

The Pesaro building is the maximum representation of the Italian Art Nouveau or also called "Liberty" or "floral" style, subject to restrictions for buildings of monumental interest in 1962.

The main feature of the cottage is the very rich presence in the four external vestments of decorations inspired by the marine and vegetable world. The position in front of the sea enhances it to the point that many visitors stop to admire it.

Originally the villa was all colored, therefore not green and white as it is today, with sparkling bronze doors depicting the owner's family members in bas-relief.

The execution of the small building was entrusted to the architect Giuseppe Brega from Urbino, who specially designed its furnishings, decorations and external vestments.

Everything in the cottage had to lead back to that typical taste, so popular in the Europe of the time, that had made Gesamtkubstwerk its bulwark.
