On the lakefront of Verbania, in one of the most exclusive and charming corners of Lake Maggiore, a villa with direct access to the lake is for sale, one of the masterpieces of renowned architect Aldo Rossi. This magnificent residence of about 500 square meters, distributed on four levels, offers spectacular views of the lake on each floor. Commissioned by a family whose surname is linked to one of the best-known Made in Italy design brands, the villa represents the only architectural creation of the celebrated master on Lake Maggiore. Considered one of the most important Italian architects of the second half of the 20th century, Aldo Rossi was the first Italian designer to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize for architecture. With his rigorous language of primary forms, geometries and evocations in absence, he offered a personal version of postmodernism, creating some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design of his era. The design of the villa consists of large, essential volumes and, in a fusion of elements typical of nineteenth-century patrician residences, is developed in a measured eclecticism of materials.
