Villa Melchiorri

Villa Melchiorri is a residential building in Liberty style located on Viale Cavour in Ferrara, featuring architectural elements from the early 20th century. The house is surrounded by a park of about 2200 square meters and displays characteristic decorative facade details of this design period.

The building was constructed in 1904 by architect Ciro Contini on land where the San Gabriele convent had stood until 1903. Its construction reflected the urban transformation taking place in Ferrara during that period.

The villa displays decorative sunflower motifs created by artist Arrigo Minerbi, reflecting the original owner's work as a plant grower. These artistic details remain visible and form part of the house's distinctive character.

The villa is located at Viale Cavour 184 near Ferrara's train station and underwent complete renovation in 2024. The site is easily accessible and surrounded by a well-maintained park worth exploring.

The villa's name contains a double 'r' due to a construction error by Giuseppe Pedroni that became permanent in subsequent documentation. This small mistake became part of the building's identity and remains to this day.
