History and description:
Built
by an unknown architect around 1900 -
1905.
The house was built in Art Nouveau style.
The main façade is painted in rose color with pillars and window cases in
brick.
The curious design of doors and windows is completed with a geometric
ceramic decoration.
A sun clock with Arabic numbers - instead of the most usual roman ones - also decorated with ceramic is over the
central terrace.
The top of the main façade following a design in "coup de
fouet" is covered with ceramic pieces.
Some additions on the back side of the house had been made in a different
style of the original project.
Perhaps the most peculiar and interesting part of this house is the chapel
who was built on the left of building main façade, following a neo gothic
Art Nouveau style. The consecration was made in 1907 during the
pontificate of the pope Pius the X.
The interior of this chapel is profusely decorated on walls and roof
following the typical Art Nouveau "horror vacui".
