19th-century villa of the Swiss textile industrialists of the Irno Valley, with a neoclassical park and elegant cast-iron decorations.

In Pellezzano, in the area still called the Villini Svizzeri (Swiss Villas), stands Villa Wenner, built in 1862 for the Wenner family, leading figures in the development of the textile industry in the Irno Valley. Around it other homes were built for the factories' managers and clerks, designed by the architect Stefano Gasse, known in Naples for the façade of Palazzo San Giacomo.Gasse gave the complex and the park a neoclassical style, while the villa itself was designed by the Swiss architect Adolfo Mauke. We like the fireplaces and the many cast-iron features made in the industries' foundries: the gate, the balcony railings, the portico and the entrance bridge. We recommend taking time to observe its details.
