The Ruggeri cottage, built between 1902 and 1907 on the idea of ​​the owner, the pharmaceutical industrialist Oreste Ruggeri, is a splendid example of Liberty in Italy. The building, located at number n. 1 of Piazzale della Libertà in Pesaro, was subject to restrictions for buildings of monumental interest in 1962.
The main feature of the cottage is the very rich presence of decorations inspired by the marine and vegetable world in the four external vestments. The position in front of the sea enhances it to the point that many visitors stop to admire it.
Originally the villa was all colored, therefore not green and white as it is today, with glittering bronze doors depicting the owner's family members in bas-relief. The execution of the small building was entrusted to the architect from Urbino Giuseppe Brega, who specially designed its furnishings, decorations and external vestments. Everything in the cottage had to lead back to that typical taste, so popular in the Europe of the time, that had made Gesamtkubstwerk its bulwark.
Some villas, summer residences, built in the same period, in Art Nouveau style, with Moorish details, are located in Salento, but do not have the refinement of the house of Oreste Ruggeri. Recently Laura-Ingrid Paolucci has published a book that tells in depth the whole story from construction to today, but above all containing photos of the interiors, unknown to most as the villa is closed to the public.
