The Liberty Style

Varese Province is surrounded by unquestionably beautiful scenery. Its magnificent natural landscape has contributed to the growth of many artistic creations, such as the Liberty architecture, which found a solid ground in the dynamics of the environment, with its many magical effects caused by the light from the mountain, the lake, and the plains. In the first decade of the 1900's, the Liberty experience in Varese Province bore significant testimony to the wealth that the middle-classes at the time were able to generate, thanks to their innate industrial and cultural abilities. Residential homes, factories, workers' villages, large hotels, health resort facilities, and burial chapels are all testimonies of a creative choice made by architects of the time, who designed for the future without reworking the forms of the past.
