An example of this type of architecture and decoration is found in the Villino Broggi-Caraceni, located on Via Scipione Ammirato near Piazza Beccaria. The building was built between 1910 and 1911 by architect Giovanni Michelazzi, in collaboration with Galileo Chini who completed the pictorial and ceramic decorations including green majolica garlands that are considered highly original and unique.<br /><br />The Broggi Villino offers many other interesting particulars, including precious wrought iron banisters that characterize the gates and windows. All of the balconies, small doors and imposing eaves give the building a unique profile. Galileo Chini frescoed part of the walls and entranceway ceilings, as well as the living area. The stylized staircase in the form of a dragon and large lantern have inspired generations of decorators and creative designers.
