The Villino Ximenes, which was built between 1900 and 1902, was the first flowering of Art Nouveua in Rome.

​The house was designed by Ernesto Basile and Leonardo Paterna Baldizzi for the Sicilian sculptor Ettore Ximenes (1855-1926), who was responsible for all the decorative details, both inside and out.
