Villa Botalla


Villa Botalla is a historic Art Nouveau villa located in Ivrea, Italy.

History

The current appearance of the villa is the result of a remodeling of a previous seventeenth-century building. These works were carried out between 1910 and 1912 and were commissioned by Giuseppe Botalla, a construction contractor who had previously worked abroad, in China, Persia, and North Africa.

Description

The villa features an Art Nouveau style. The main façade is characterized by variously shaped tripartite openings, one of which features a circular shape, referencing French and Belgian Art Nouveau experimentation.
