Edificio Giacoletti, Lima, Art Nouveau building in Plaza San Martín, Peru.
The Edificio Giacoletti spans four floors in a triangular layout, featuring marble staircases connecting each level of the commercial structure.
Built in 1912 by Italian brothers Rinaldo, Antonio, and Guido Masperi, the building underwent modifications in the 1940s that altered its original Art Nouveau elements.
Named after an Italian cafeteria on its ground floor, the building reflected the European influence on Lima's early 20th-century commercial architecture.
The structure sustained extensive damage during a 2018 fire that started in a restaurant chimney, currently awaiting restoration due to administrative complexities.
The building stands as the oldest construction in Plaza San Martín, marking the entrance to what was Lima's most exclusive neighborhood in the 1920s.
