Bagno Balena, Art Nouveau beach establishment in Viareggio, Italy
The entrance of Bagno Balena features geometric decorations by Galileo Chini, with lateral openings bordered by faux ashlar and a barrel vault at the entrance point.
Originally constructed in 1874 as a wooden structure, the beach establishment underwent reconstruction in 1928 under architect Alfredo Belluomini's design following new municipal regulations.
The building represents an essential element of Viareggio's architectural heritage, displaying late Art Nouveau style through its structural composition and decorative elements.
The facility contains five swimming pools, including an Olympic-size pool, fitness areas, a restaurant, and an 80-meter beachfront with water sports equipment rentals.
The main entrance incorporates two ceramic medallions above the architraves and features a central colored glass rosette within the vaulted gallery passage.
