Casa Coraggio, 19th-century palace in Bordighera, Italy.

Casa Coraggio is a stone building at 34 Via Vittorio Veneto in Bordighera, where that street meets Via Regina Vittoria, roughly between the Valdese and Anglican churches. It was built around 1880 for Scottish writer George MacDonald and his family, who planted Scotch firs outside. The vast living room could hold about two hundred people.

The house was built around 1880 and soon became the winter home of Scottish writer George MacDonald and his family, who came for better health. After their departure, it was converted into a hotel that accommodated other notable guests.

The palace served as a meeting point for Bordighera's British community in the 19th century. It shaped how the town developed as a winter destination for wealthy Europeans seeking mild winters.

Casa Coraggio stands at 34 Via Vittorio Veneto, where that street meets Via Regina Vittoria, roughly midway between the Valdese and Anglican churches. The facade with the two memorial plaques faces Via Vittorio Veneto. The building is now a private apartment block, so the plaques are seen from the street rather than by entering.

Memorial plaques on the facade honor both Scottish writer George MacDonald and Italian author Edmondo De Amicis, whose paths crossed through this building. This dual tribute shows how British and Italian cultures intersected in Bordighera.
