If you check on the left of the castle gate of “Villa Maria”, you can see this ornate building with these great balconies.
It is an eye catching “palazzo” and in perfect condition.
Even the front door has something special.

And as usual the most beautiful houses still have those bloody boring cars lined up in front of them. There should be some law against this!
Really a beautiful building, interesting and unusual!
Thanks!
You've been hiding this gem from us. It's really outstanding! Nice, nice photos, too.
It's picture perfect. If I could design a building it would look a lot like this. (I hope the villa gets a benefector too to pay for a speedier restoration. I'd think the well-to-do neighbors would want to pitch in.)
This is a beatiful looking building, and a great doorway for a Wednesday too.
Eye-catching is the word alright. WE don't have buildings like this here and it's always a pleasure to see them.
(I'll have the top balcony please!)
Cheers.

This one is very pretty - not as much as the fencing champion one, but very close! Looks like a doll castle!
This is one beautiful building! I love the stonework and the ornate door.
And each floor is different!
Imagine, walking through such a door every day.
BRAVO!!:-)
Thanks for sharing these beautiful shots/details!
The front door is beautiful. I love this building - it's ornate but elegant. When was it built?
Oh yes, this IS very nice. Any history to it?
The palette for this building is gorgeous, VP. This building has a touch of the Moors to it. Do you think?
I knew you would be hurrying me along to get to the boats and not waste time with preparations and people!! I will agree that boating can be a genre all its own!
Eye-catching is right!
Bellissimo palazzo.

Except for the cars this could be a Shakespearean stage setting.
Wow... it's almost Glasgow Style, as if Mackintosh had a hand in it somewhere! I think it's one of the neatest buildings I've ever seen. Just another reason to get to Livorno one day.
I absolutely love beautiful buildings, and this is definately one of them! So much detail :)
Vogon what a beautiful building. Thanks.
That's a wonderful building! I wouldn't mind living in a place like that :-)
You have the coolest buildings!
That's a beautiful building and I love your composition.
@ joo - Other buildings in the same street date back to the early 1930's, but I'm not sure.
@ Julie - It has definitely a Moorish touch.
The building is outstanding! Love the balconies and the door in the bottom photo is extremely beautiful to my eyes.
I wish you all the best in 2010, VP!
Is that Venice in Livorno?
A beautiful building with beautiful details!
What a beautiful building and it looks so well preserved. I love it.
This building simply is gorgeous and I'm sure your shots make it justice!
Stunning building - love the muted, pastel colors of Livorno.
