Villa Romeo Faccanoni

Villa Romeo Faccanoni is an Liberty style house located on Via Michelangelo Buonarroti #48 in the city of Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy.

The architect Sommaruga employed the decorators Eugenio Quarti and Alessandro Mazzucotelli to complete respectively the interior and exterior ornamentation.

Also of note are two naked statues of women, sculpted by Ernesto Bazzaro, that had been installed at the entrance of the Sommaruga-designed Palazzo Castiglioni, but removed due to controversy.

The asymmetries of the design create a mannerist dynamism, almost fluid appearance, although the elements respect vertical and horizontal lines.

The widening stairs at the entrance are marked in the center by two awkwardly rising dark stone column-monoliths that are barely linked to a second floor balcony.
