Villa Lentini
Mondello. Via Cà da Mosto, 7. The Lentini villa, built around 1910 by Ernesto Basile, sees the intervention, as regards the Liberty style pictorial decorations of the walls, by the painter Rocco Lentini, owner of the villa. On the high plinth painted with fake red bricks, the painter created a blue stringcourse band with flamed floral elements; the fake bricks continue upwards to define the edges of the building and surround the straight openings. In the fields yellow-gold discs are painted on stylized vines. Under the roof runs a blue band with circles, in which plant elements connected by ocher ribbons are inscribed; the design on the cusp of the short front facing the street is more complex.” Today the Lentini villa, closed for several years, is completely abandoned.
