Villino Nasi

Villino Nasi is a historic seaside villa in Trapani, Sicily, designed as a residence and retreat for the politician Nunzio Nasi. Built in 1898 by engineer Giuseppe Manzo on a rocky promontory overlooking the western coastline, it is one of the city’s most recognisable late-nineteenth-century landmarks.
The villa features eclectic architectural elements and extensive terraces, and has long been included among notable examples of Liberty style architecture in Trapani in local heritage itineraries. A 2022 cultural heritage survey describes the original single-storey structure, later expanded, and notes the villa's Liberty-style interiors, period decorative schemes and prominent position between the Ligny Tower and the Castello della Colombaia.
The villa is owned by the Municipality of Trapani, which undertakes periodic conservation work. It has occasionally been opened to the public for guided visits, allowing access to its historic interiors and original early-twentieth-century furnishings. A guide issued by the provincial authority describes the villa’s Liberty-style interiors, including decorative schemes by the painter Saporito, and notes that its upper floor and helical "Trapanese-style staircase" were added in 1907 by the architect Francesco La Grassa.
