Villa Ravera, Renaissance Revival villa in Ivrea, Italy.

Villa Ravera is a residence on Corso Costantino Nigra, opposite Palazzo Ravera and bordering the garden of Villa Luisa to the north. Built in an eclectic neo-Renaissance style, it has deliberately asymmetrical facades: rusticated stonework on the raised ground floor and brick above, with single and paired windows. The main two-storey block includes porticoes and loggias, while a three-storey terraced avant-corps rises on the main front.

Villa Ravera was built in 1897 to a design by engineer Baraggioli for Dr Federico Demaria, chief physician at Ivrea's hospital and husband of Angela Baratti of the confectioner family; the Pilatone firm carried out the work. During the Nazi-Fascist occupation the villa housed the German command in Ivrea. In 1946 the Demaria family sold it to umbrella manufacturer Filippo Bertoletti, and it later passed to the Oderio family for their daughter Olga, who married the cardiologist Mario Ravera, whose name it bears.

The villa's name comes from Mario Ravera, the Ivrea cardiologist who married Olga Oderio, whose family bought the property in 1946; their children still live there. The eclectic neo-Renaissance decoration includes friezes with Latin maxims, painted bands with candelabra motifs, putti and cameos, plus relief cartouches and wooden balustrades, cornices and brackets.

Villa Ravera is a private residence whose owners still live there, so visits are limited to the exterior. It stands on Corso Costantino Nigra, opposite Palazzo Ravera, with the garden of Villa Luisa bordering the property to the north. The asymmetrical facades, rusticated ground floor and brick upper storeys are best read from the public street.

The villa is still inhabited by the children of Olga Oderio and cardiologist Mario Ravera, whose surname it bears. In the grounds stands a chalet-style guard house, once the Demaria horses' stable, with the groom's lodgings above; it has floral ornamentation, moulded wooden brackets and metal lambrequins.
