Villa Botalla is a historic Art Nouveau villa located in Ivrea, Italy.
The current appearance of the villa is the result of a remodeling of a previous seventeenth-century building. These works were carried out between 1910 and 1912 and were commissioned by Giuseppe Botalla, a construction contractor who had previously worked abroad, in China, Persia, and North Africa.[1]
Description
The villa features an Art Nouveau style.[2] The main façade is characterized by variously shaped tripartite openings, one of which features a circular shape, referencing French and Belgian Art Nouveau experimentation.[3]
