Villa Rosa di Altare - Da residenza a museo

Villa Rosa, home of the museum, is a beautiful Art Nouveau building. It was designed by  engineer Nicolò Campora from Savona, who had studied and worked  in Turin and was interested in the technical and styling innovations of international architecture. The Villa is part of a series of Art Nouveau buildings which spread in the town at the beginning of the 20^th century and are still largely existing. Of all the examples of  Art Nouveau style in Altare, Villa Rosa is the most homogeneous and stylistically representative achievement.
