I spent about a month off and on going around the city stalking these Liberty buildings, near the center and far afield. I found about 15 or so though there must be more because I saw bits of the style on many buildings that weren't completely art nouveau. as you can see from the photos, some of them are totally outrageous and wonderful!

what a shame this building is deteriorating! Chini died here in 1956 | the reliefs were the work of Umberto Pinazuti Galileo Chini was the main artist and perhaps the catalyst for Liberty architecture in Italy stained glass by Vincenzo Ceccanti | the painting above the door, executed by Umberto Pinzauti, was similar to "Spring" by Chini (right) ceramic tiles in the entry designed by Galileo Chini (stepped on every day!) http://www.oocities.org/youngsocratessociety/manifattura.htm |
