Villa Neri ---

At the beginning of the 1900s, the Neri family decided to expand and renovate the villa, taking the opportunity to enrich it with refined Art Nouveau decorations. The villa is surrounded by a garden and immersed in the peaceful atmosphere of the streets that lead from the city toward the hills and the Valle di Astino. The facade flush with the street has been embellished with beautiful frescoes. The elegant female figures recall those of Pre-Raphaelite paintings and advertising posters of the era. They were probably painted by the Bergamo artist Achille Filippini Fantoni. Floral motifs, also painted in fresco, complete the decoration and mimic the surrounding vegetation.
