Description
Case & Casali presents a prestigious building for sale (bare ownership) in Sora. Recognized for its historical and artistic importance and protected by the Ministry of Cultural and Environmental Heritage, the Camillo Marsella building is a significant example of "bourgeois" architecture from the early decades of the 20th century - almost intact in its furnishings, decorations and accessories - and representative of the aesthetic syncretism typical of Italian culture of the period. This cultural aspect, in fact, tends to combine iconographic and formal apparatus belonging to the classic historicist tradition with more up-to-date artistic and decorative expressions as well as with construction technologies and procedures typical of the modern era (concrete/iron). Built in compliance with anti-seismic construction methods, the building is constructed of concrete, used extensively among other things also to form strictly decorative parts with refined mimetic and simulative effects. The exterior presents itself in the now consolidated block structure, inserted inside the urban block and developed on three floors and, above a low attic, with a roof covering. The distribution is characterised on the ground floor by the large cruciform entrance hall whose transverse cross arm, wider than the longitudinal one, presents a sort of colonnaded perimeter ambulatory. While the longitudinal cross arm connects the public exterior (the Lungo Liri) with the private one (the rustic courtyard), the transverse cross arm joins the monumental staircase on the right with the service staircase body on the left. Rich stucco decorations adorn the ceilings. Through the monumental staircase and through the landing, where three wooden doors finely carved with floral decorations open, one enters a sort of double-height atrium-living room which, in turn, overlooks the upper floor; the atrium introduces the main transverse distribution axis of the 1st floor onto which the reception rooms (dining room, entrance hall, lounge) are grafted. On either side of these spaces, all the other rooms branch off (master bedroom area facing the street, master living area facing the internal courtyard). The secondary staircase, located on the opposite side of the monumental one, leads to the 2nd floor, consisting of two independent apartments developed along two corridors and reunited by the entrance hall on one side and by a sort of shared loggia on the other. The presence of the family chapel on this floor is noteworthy. Diffused almost everywhere, except in the areas intended for services, are elements of finishing and furnishings typical of the period such as stucco decorations, patterned grit tile flooring, external and internal fixtures of high artisanal quality, similar to the aesthetic taste of floral art as an Italianized expression of the Art Nouveau taste.--9b7212d36ccc04a37a909fda4ff56530!
