Villa Mussolini

Villa Mussolini is a two-story seaside villa in Riccione featuring thirteen original rooms, a south-facing turret, and landscaped gardens surrounding the property. The main residence was expanded in the 1940s with additional rooms and separate buildings constructed nearby.

The villa was built in 1892 for an aristocratic family and became a summer residence for Benito Mussolini's family starting in 1934. Additional structures were constructed during the 1940s to house family members and staff.

The villa now operates as a cultural center, hosting photography exhibitions featuring work by renowned 20th century artists. Visitors encounter images that document everyday life and significant historical moments.

The restored villa can be explored across both floors, allowing visitors to see the rooms and layout of the property. Wear comfortable shoes, as you will walk through multiple spaces and outdoor gardens.

Small buildings on the grounds were called 'furnarèin' by locals, a name reflecting their modest and discrete design. These structures show how the estate supported security and daily operations during its private use.
