Part 6/11:
The Florence mansion was designed with meticulous attention to detail, aiming to evoke the grandeur of Pompeii and Renaissance Florence. Architects incorporated classic Italian elements—such as green shutters, ornate moldings, and imposing columns. The façade featured Ionic columns painted in bold colors: soft red for the lower level and white and green accents on upper levels. This bold, multi-colored treatment was intended to evoke the classical Roman and Pompeian aesthetic, creating a vivid visual impact.
