Villa Cantoni, 19th century residential villa in Arona, Italy.
Villa Cantoni features a three-level structure with a U-shaped layout, including a viewing tower and a central projection facing Lake Maggiore.
The villa, constructed between 1870 and 1880, was designed by engineer Vittorio Cantoni on land acquired from the Borromeo family in 1873.
The interior spaces contained Renaissance and neoclassical furnishings, with frescoes painted by Venetian artist Giacomo Casa adorning the walls.
The property includes artificial caves beneath a semicircular platform, two pavilions leading to a private dock, and a chalet with a gabled roof.
During World War II, villa residents Irma and Victor Cantoni were arrested in September 1943, leading to the property's abandonment for three decades.
