[1] Villa Urania, home to the Raffaele Paparella Treccia and Margherita Devlet Foundation,[2] is a small eclectic-style building dating back to the late 19th century.

The quadrangular villa has a single level, but at its center, an attic topped with a pediment emerges.

[3] The villa was erected by Baron Giandomenico Treccia,[4] who dedicated this aristocratic summer residence to his beloved wife, Urania Valentini.

Built according to the taste of the time, it is located in the heart of Pescara (then known as Castellammare Adriatico), just a few steps from the sea.

[6] The museum also houses paintings, including a 15th-century Nativity, an 18th-century self-portrait by the Tuscan Pietro Santi Bambocci, and 17th-century cathedral interiors attributed to Monsù Desiderio, a name referring to a trio of artists of French origin active in Naples, the most notable of whom was François Didier Nomé.
