The Villa was constructed in 1909 for the Chelini family and is still their property.
The designer's name is not known.
Like most of the buildings constructed in Lucca during the first few years of the Twentieth century, the appendage to the historical Liberty period is more due to decorative style than to plan volumetric structures which, with the exception of the unusual terrace on top of the hip roof, remain traditional.
Between the time of its construction and the present day, there have been neither significant changes to the external appearance of the villa nor significant modifications to its interior. Therefore, the villa still appears the same today as it did when it was designed.
