Villa Cerami, 18th century villa in Catania, Italy
The villa features a monumental staircase, a bronze fountain in its courtyard, and a grand Baroque entrance portal with stone decorations.
Following the 1693 earthquake, architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini rebuilt the structure for Domenico Rosso, the third Prince of Cerami, around 1724.
The entrance displays the Rosso di Cerami family coat of arms, while the courtyard contains the bronze sculpture Grande Bagnante by Emilio Greco.
Villa Cerami currently serves as the main building of the University of Catania Law Faculty, with offices, classrooms, and a specialized library.
The villa stands at the northern end of Via Crociferi, built upon ruins of the Roman amphitheater visible in nearby Piazza Stesicoro.
