The building is encased into a 2000 m2 botanic garden rich of columns and classic characters that, with its fountains and glamour sights, a rich flora of fruit trees and the private chapel, represents a wonderful and unexpected oasis of exclusive tranquillity submerged in the frenzy of the city center. The design of the building, as in the whole Vanvitellian architectonic manifestation, traces the neo-classical style, characterized by the pursuit of the art’s perfection, with simple and soft lines in the rhythms and structure.
