This contribution analyses the current architecture, that of the past and which has never been built, of the park of Villetta Di Negro in Genoa (Italy) of which the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art is today the main building. However, the currently visible building has a characteristically complicated history, which dates back to the nineteenth century. The first project dates back to 1800 and was commissioned by the Marquis Giancarlo Di Negro to the architect Carlo Barabino (1768–1835) and was destroyed during the Second World War. The reconstruction was entrusted to the local architect Mario Labò who presented the first design idea in 1948 to later modify it in 1952. The current building dates back to 1971, during the period from the first idea to the completion there were several important variations to the project, the most important being that of 1955.

Abstract
This contribution analyses the current architecture, that of the past and which has never been built, of the park of Villetta Di Negro in Genoa (Italy) of which the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art is today the main building. However, the currently visible building has a characteristically complicated history, which dates back to the nineteenth century. The first project dates back to 1800 and was commissioned by the Marquis Giancarlo Di Negro to the architect Carlo Barabino (1768–1835) and was destroyed during the Second World War. The reconstruction was entrusted to the local architect Mario Labò who presented the first design idea in 1948 to later modify it in 1952. The current building dates back to 1971, during the period from the first idea to the completion there were several important variations to the project, the most important being that of 1955.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
