Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur

A privileged location is characterized by angular momentum along the axis of the corso Francia and via Principi d'Acaja where will find the main entrance and driveway access to the inner garden.

Although the structure is characterized by a rather traditional urban setting typical of a bourgeois villa, the building is an excellent and balanced example of combined use of materials.

The latter constitutes the elements between the two wings of the building and is embellished with a pronounced oriel window with polychrome glazing which exhibits a mixture of wrought iron.

The motifs of twisting lines are also evident in an elegant glass aedicule overlooking the garden terrace, which seems to reference the Parisian sinuosity of Hector Guimard's architecture.

[3] The work of Fenoglio, however, seems refreshingly unaffected by the schools of French and Belgian Art Nouveau, not only for the careful stylistic coherence but also the ambition to give the building an international connotation.
