This is a residential villa built in the 1920s, which was likely decorated during the same period with a ceramic frieze that runs along three sides of the house at first-floor level. The design features a vine-like motif, with snails creeping along the tendrils, and is composed of individual square tiles. The frieze is framed by spiral patterns that alternate in red and green. The geometric pattern is echoed in a series of small diamond-shaped orange tiles, which are placed on each of the pilasters dividing the facades.<\/span><\/p>
