Conceived from it’s construction as a house-museum, the Luxoro villa, immersed in the greenery of the final stretch of the park in Nervi, in the Capolungo area, was built in 1903 based on a design by Pietro Luxoro, it became the property of the Municipality of Genoa in 1945. The designer was inspired by the models of Genoese architecture of the past, in particular the villas of the Renaissance period and those of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as evidenced by the corner loggia and the decoration of the facades. Even the careful choice of construction details and some fixed furnishings, such as the external “shrine” containing a marble figurine depicting the Madonna (the Immaculate Conception) and the numerous eighteenth-century tiles re-used both inside and outside the building, confirm a taste for “history” and a profound link with Ligurian tradition.
