History

Opened in 1995 to promote and develop the Italian

Italian Republic to promote art and culture
. After the restoration of the building, carried out in the eighties, the “Villino” was given by the Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo, MiBACT (Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage) at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rome.

Liberty style artists Galileo Chini (1873 – 1956) and Vittorio Zecchin (1878 – 1947) created a number of panels in 1914 for the Venice Hotel Terminus called "La Primavera" and "Mille e una notte", which were influenced by Gustav Klimt's style who exhibited at the 1910 Venice Biennale.[1][2][3][4] These were later exhibited in the museum.[5]
