The restoration brought the building to have a composite style, characterized by neoclassical and liberty motives. From the orographic point of view it is characterized by different levels and terraces that have determined the development and the peculiarities of the three tree systems present: from the classical architecture of the “Italian Garden”, to the sinuosity of the “French Garden” aka “Lower Garden”, up to the perspective game of the Romantic Garden aka “Upper Garden”.
