This villa, which I have long admired, is situated alongside Corso Italia in Genova.

This is the gatehouse:

I’ve finally got round to photographing it.

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
I know nothing about the place, but the gatehouse was not in a wonderful condition a couple of years ago. It may be a house, but then again it could be an office. I did ask our Genovese friend about it, but she knows nothing.
I love the style of the place and, despite being plonked just about in the middle of a town, it has a wonderful position looking straight out over the sea.
If only I had a few million Euros to throw around.
