The history of this late Liberty style villa begins at the end of the nineteenth century, when Commendatore Emilio Quadrio (writer, journalist and character in the center of the limelight until the outbreak of the First World War), began the construction of two cottages near the Ogliolo stream . It seems that in the initial project it was planned the construction of a new settlement to be allocated to accommodation for doctors who would work in the sanatorium that would be built nearby, but the project faded so that the two buildings became the center of an incessant worldly life. In fact, many famous people of the time attended the numerous concerts and parties hosted in the two cottages.
