The project for the small villas bears the name of the architect from Lucca, Gaetano Orzali. It presents ordered classical architecture which is characterised by a structure which spans across two floors and features Eclectic façades upon which ceramic decoration constitutes the innovative factor in keeping with the style of that time. A typical example of this is the decorative composition of the small villa: a sequence of ceramic panels which illustrate caravels at sea. The figures are outlined by a well defined contour in accordance with the diktat of Modernist graphics which was characteristic of the Chini kilns in Borgo San Lorenzo.

Via Firenze, viareggio
In 1910 the engineer Antonio Chizzolini, an entrepreneur from Milan, bought a sizable plot of land which stretched from viale Carducci to what is today called via Buonarotti. The small villas, which were originally identical, have been transformed through time. In particular, a floor was added to the north building by the same Chizzolini when in 1913 the Imperiale hotel, projected by Orzali, was constructed.
