Villa Ottolenghi Wedekind, Historic villa and arts centre in Acqui Terme, Italy.
Villa Ottolenghi Wedekind stands on the hillsides of Alto Monferrato as an architectural masterpiece combining early 20th-century design with extensive artistic collections and carefully planned gardens.
Built starting in 1920 by Count Arturo Ottolenghi and his wife Herta von Wedekind zu Horst, the villa was designed by architects Federico d'Amato and later Marcello Piacentini.
The villa houses works by prominent artists including Ferruccio Ferrazzi, Fortunato Depero, Adolfo Wildt, and Arturo Martini, featuring frescoes, mosaics, and sculptures throughout its interior spaces.
The property operates as a luxury Relais offering seven elegant suites, event spaces, and the Monterosso Restaurant serving Piedmontese cuisine with wines from the estate vineyards.
The estate includes Herta's Temple, a mausoleum crafted with engraved bronze, nickel, and copper by master ironworkers Ernesto and Mario Ferrari, showcasing exceptional metalwork artistry.
