Casa de Italia, Viña del Mar, National monument building at Calle Alvares, Viña del Mar, Chile.

Casa de Italia stands on the corner of Álvarez and Villanelo streets in Viña del Mar, built from late 1916 on a plot of about 6,800 square metres that once reached the foothills. The Werner family mansion replaced two older houses by Juan Livingston, and its second floor was destroyed by fire on 8 December 2019.

Carlos Werner, a senator and owner of the Bellavista Tomé cloth factory, bought three adjoining plots at Álvarez and Villanelo streets on 9 June 1916 for 280,000 pesos and demolished the old Lever family houses. He built the present mansion from late 1916. After his death in 1926 it passed to his widow Selma Schönberg, then to Constantino Mustakis after 1948, and in 1966 to a group of Italian immigrants as a meeting place.

The building has served the Italian community since 1966 as a meeting place for dance groups, sports clubs, and art exhibitions that keep Italian traditions alive. Visitors can see how the spaces host regular community gatherings and celebrations throughout the year.

The building is visible from the street and displays its historical architecture clearly from the front. The spacious front garden allows visitors to view the structure and photograph its details.

A fire in December 2019 destroyed much of the second floor and damaged significant historical interior elements. The ongoing restoration reflects efforts to preserve this heritage building.
