Let’s talk about the building

My town city plan is not ancient, even thorough we are in Italy. In fact it goes back to XIX century.

The place shows human settlement history dated way back to VIII century a.c., but because of malaria the environment was harsh until the reclamation ground done in 1700s, so the town known as we do today, was designed starting from that age.

Our house was built between 1920s and 1930s in a (sort of) art noveaux style known in Italy as “Stile Liberty” in fact the the building is a simple version of it.

In town that period building main characteristics are the fact that:

• they developed their design plan along the town street, not necessarily squared off (in fact our house plan is a parallelogram)
• the staircase leading to the main floor were made of cement work and cultured marble (graniglia) with the distinctive cast iron railing (made in the town factory)
• the floor, different in each room, were made of cement, or cement work and cultured marble tiles

• the windows were long e narrow
• the façade was enhance with peculiar stucco .

Since the city is young, the house is considered of historical value and we need to preserve the façade, we also have other regulations to follow so we hope our project will respect the spirit of the building.
