Casina delle Civette, Art Nouveau house museum in Villa Torlonia, Italy
Inside Villa Torlonia park stands a residence transformed from a Swiss-style cabin into a building with turrets, porticos, and decorative windows.
The structure, commissioned by Alessandro Torlonia in 1840, underwent major modifications in 1908 when Giovanni Torlonia Jr turned it into a medieval-style dwelling.
The museum displays remarkable stained glass windows created between 1908 and 1930 by artists including Duilio Cambellotti and Umberto Bottazzi.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and features wheelchair access throughout its two-floor exhibition space.
The building earned its name from recurring owl motifs in decorations, particularly two stylized owls among ivy shoots in stained glass from 1914.
