Built at the end of the 19th Century, the villa and its decorations have been designed by the owner, a classical romantic painter who had trained in Rome, at San Luce Academy. He is very famous in Piceno area for his works, such as the vault’s decoration of Teatro Ventidio Basso in Ascoli Piceno, San Elpidio a Mare’s theatre and other ones in the Civica Pinacoteca of the hamlet.
The villa, decorata on three sides, features a basic yellow colour enriched by geometric decorations and features a yellow and Pompeian red squares, that frame, in the upper part of the main facade, the busts of Raffaello, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. The latter is in the middle and overlooks the balcony.
The painter made the outdoor decoration over the last years of his life, until 1886, leaving the project of the interior decoration uncompleted, as shown by some drafts kept by his family.
The result is an impressive and, at the same time, graceful architecture.
