Villa Mariani, House museum in Bordighera, Italy.
The two-story Villa Mariani spans 600 square meters and features wooden balconies, a Doric column-supported entrance, and large windows providing natural light throughout.
Countess Fanshawe commissioned architect Charles Garnier to build the initial cottage in 1885, which painter Pompeo Mariani purchased and expanded in 1909.
The villa contains a preserved artist studio called La Specola, displaying Mariani's original tools, furniture, and collections of carpets, porcelain, and ancient weapons.
The Fondazione Pompeo Mariani maintains the villa at 5 Via Fontana Vecchia, offering guided tours through the residence and surrounding one-hectare garden.
The gardens hold 80 olive trees aged between 200 and 400 years, which caught the attention of Claude Monet during his visit in 1884.
