Villino Ravazzini, Art Nouveau palazzo in Florence, Italy
Description
The Villino Ravazzini is an Art Nouveau residential building in Florence with a main facade characterized by long terraces and tall pilasters. The windows feature arched designs and the overall structure appears harmoniously proportioned.
History
Architect Giovanni Michelazzi designed this residential building in 1907 with decorative ceramics as a key feature. The facade was enhanced through artistic work by the Manifattura Fontebuoni workshop.
Culture
The facade displays horizontal banding and smooth surfaces interrupted by colorful ceramic panels showing floral designs. These decorative elements shape how the building appears from the street.
Practical
The building sits at Via Scipione Ammirato 101 set back from the street behind an iron fence. A small garden surrounds the property and provides a quiet buffer from the busy street.
Did you know?
The building's original wrought iron gate was donated during wartime and never replaced. This reflects how the villa lost some of its original details over time.
