From Turin to Palermo, Milan to Naples, and across the countryside, Italy is rich in Art Nouveau architecture—known locally as Stile Liberty. With flowing floral patterns, organic lines, and exquisitely crafted details, this style defined the elegance and optimism of the Belle Époque. Found in grand villas, charming homes, and even public signage, Liberty left a lasting mark on the Italian landscape and daily life.

From July 8 to 14, Art Nouveau Week 2025 opens the doors to Liberty landmarks in 70 Italian cities—many of which are typically closed to the public. The program includes themed walking tours, exhibitions, online talks, and special events celebrating architecture, fashion, illustration, decorative arts, and even cuisine. More than 100 curated itineraries will guide visitors from north to south.
