XIMENES SMALL VILLA

VILLINO XIMENES

Via Celso 1, angolo Piazza Galeno

 1900/02 collaboration of Ettore Ximenes (1855/1926) (it was his home-studio) with Leonardo Paterna Baldizzi (1868/1944), a pupil of Ernesto Basile

Together with the Cagiati Small Villa, it is the most beautiful Art Nouveau villa in Rome inspired by Norman architecture of Palermo, hometown of Ximenes, with echoes of the Viennese Secession
