An architectural masterpiece overlooking the sea in Sestri Levante

Sestri Levante, Genoa Italy

The villa was declared a National Monument of Modern Architecture in 1988 thanks to the fine arts restriction.
Designed by Carlo Luigi Daneri (student of Le Corbusier) in 1934 and finished in 1938, it represents one of the purest examples of the rationalist movement.
As soon as it was built, the villa was published in 'Costruzioni Casabella' (October 1940) and in 'Domus' (January 1941) and later in « Abitare » (March 1983 and October 2023).
The villa is enriched by a collection of Roman and Byzantine art decorating the entrance and has hosted the biggest names in art and architecture, Netflix films and commercials.

A building in continuous dialogue with the surrounding environment, characterized by a clear distribution of the internal spaces furnished with numerous original pieces of furniture of the time.
