UNLIKE OTHER BUILDINGS INTHE AREA THAT WERE MOSTLY ZONED AS BOTH BUSINESS ANDRESIDENTIAL THE HOTEL WAS EXCLUSIVELY AN ARISTOCRATICPRIVATE HOME. IT WAS ERECTED IN A SCENIC LOCATION AT THECORNER BETWEEN PIAZZALE DELLA STAZIONE AND THE CORSO AT ATIME WHEN THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT MONUMENTS IN THE AREA.IN THOSE DAYS THIS HISTORIC PALACE WAS HIGHLY CRITICIZED ANDDEFINED AS BARBARIAN OR UNSPEAKABLE FOR ART NOUVEAU WAS NOTREALLY APPRECIATED THEN. THE FACT IS THAT THE BUILDING IS AGREAT EXAMPLE OF STYLE LIBERTY WHICH WAS DEAR TO THE RULINGCLASS OF THE POPULAR PARTY FOR ITS ORIGINAL FEATURESDIFFERENT THAN THE ECLECTIC STYLE PREFERRED BY PADUACONSERVATIVES AT THE TIME. THE BUILDING FEATURES A SCENICCORRUGATED CORNER PERSPECTIVE INSPIRED BY BALCONIES PORCHES AND TERRACES WHOSE CURVILINEAR NIMBLE INTERVALS TOGETHER WITH FIGURES AND FLORAL EMBELLISHMENTS CONVEY THEFEELINGS OF MODERNITY AND YOUTH. WROUGHT IRON DECORATIONS BYADOLFO CALIGARIS ON BALCONIES AND IRONWORKS WILL FOREVER BETIED TO THE STYLE LIBERTY. THE RECENT RESTORATION MADEPOSSIBLE BY THE CINEL FAMILY HAS GIVEN THE PUBLIC THEOPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THESE ORIGINAL WORKS THAT HAD BEENHIDDEN FOR TOO LONG.
