Villino Florio
Villino Florio is a private residence designed in an eclectic
art nouveau (Liberty) style by Ernesto Basile, and located on Viale Regina Margherita #38 in the city of Palermo
, Siciy, Italy.
History
The structure was commissioned by the scion of the wealthy Florio family,
neogothic turrets. The house has a novel interpretation of dual entry staircases common in Sicilian architecture. The house fell into disuse after a fire in 1962 damaged some of the interiors. A recent restoration has allowed visitors to see the interiors.[1]
