Circa 1895, the worldwide economy moved beyond the difficulties it had faced in the previous 20 years and entered into an extraordinary period of expansion that would come to an end only in 1914. Those who were around at the time were aware of the exceptional vitality of the period they were living through and were not slow to baptise it the 'Belle Époque'. The period was marked in terms of its art and architecture by a floral influence and by smooth, curved lines; a typical example being the so-called 'whiplash motifs'. In Italy, art nouveau was referred to as the 'Liberty style' or the 'Floral style'. From the end of the century onwards, European art nouveau seemed to mirror more and more closely what was very much an evolving world.
Concentrated within about 700 meters, the art nouveau buildings in the city of Alghero offers a glimpse of relatively recent history and almost completely intact.
Villa Mosca is a witness to this era and represents a splendid example of this style.
Built in the twenties by the Mosca family (founder, along with the Sella family, of the famous winery firm of alghero), is a true architectural gem overlooking the Gulf of Alghero, a charming building, sinuous, full of fine architectural and decorative elements in a balanced and delicate exercise of style and taste. The architecture of the villa recalls precisely the "Belle Epoque", characterized by flowing lines and floral elements and is entirely surrounded by a large green park, with its various trees and shrubs, with varieties of cactus plants, its characteristic and unique coat that is colored pink in springtime alive and flashy, phitolaca doica, palm trees and lawn. A perfect set to regenerate body and soul. The large terraces and panoramic sea view, pool and two dependance turn this architectural masterpiece in a unique structure, a jewel overlooking the infinite sea.
The villa is a good historical oversight mechanism under the protection of cultural heritage and architecture and is now ready to reopen its historic doors and return to the world the charm and beauty of a place that has marked the  Sardinian's Belle Epoque.
