Since the end of ' the nineteenth century villas vintage characterize the urban fabric of Riccione, traces of the reflection of its history.
The old fishing village, which has its hub in that stretch of the Flaminia renamed Course Fratelli Cervi, expands rapidly until the dunes, lapped by the sea. So much so that in 1905 are counted two hundred houses. a heritage building that is the driving force in the wealthy families of the Centre-North, attracted by the pleasantness of the pleasant seaside resort , its healthy climate and the atmosphere lively, cheerful and hospitable. A process, not the parentheses of the sad events of the war, continued for decades, representing a further development in the twenties and thirties . Period in which the Duce and his family spend their holidays in Riccione.
Having a summer house within walking distance of the Donna Rachele Guidi and Benito Mussolini becomes prerogative of hierarchs, entrepreneurs and professionals. Riccione is thus enriched with a considerable heritage urban, largely removed in time from that process of innovation that still puts him at risk. Hundreds of cottages demolished after the war to make room for hotels and guest houses that marked the boom of tourism popular.
In this context fits the story of Villa Antolini on which the young author Andrew Speziali has done a painstaking and meticulous research , which guides the reader in the sphere of that "monument" style Liberty, Riccione's very rare. In the book A season of Liberty in Riccione, published by Maggs, is published the interesting work of Andrea Apothecaries, which returns a fluid geometry review.
include architectural details, inside and outside, through a series of rare pictures and a detailed description, tourists and residents will be able to visit the rooms of that ideal symbol of the Belle Epoque riccionese that resists changes in the urban city.
to our author is given credit for this study and especially to have found that to sign the draft of the building, a real "jewel" nestled between the Boulevard Promenade and Avenue of the Republic of Milan, was Mario Mirko Vucetich, a distinguished architect and writer, designer and sculptor of Dalmatian origin who worked mainly between Friuli, Veneto, Emilia - Romagna and Lazio.
A discovery of great significance, destined to ferry the name Riccione beyond national borders. This publication, through the monographic section devoted to the future that was in contact with Carlo Emilio Gadda , also becomes a chance to learn and re-evaluate the multifaceted artist, long since abandoned.
