Villa Oro, Rationalist villa in Posillipo, Italy.
Villa Oro stands on a tufa cliff in Via Orazio, featuring three levels with covered and uncovered spaces oriented towards the Naples bay.
Architects Luigi Cosenza and Bernard Rudofsky designed this residential structure between 1934 and 1937 for university doctor Augusto Oro.
The villa contains a remarkable majolica floor in the living room depicting the Gulf of Naples with its manufacturing activities.
The entrance ramp from Via Caracciolo leads visitors to spaces offering views of Castel dell'Ovo, Mount Vesuvius, and the Sorrentine Peninsula.
The building follows the topographical curves of the site, replacing traditional corridors with staircases that connect communicating interior spaces.
