The Antico Stabilimento, Balneare, Palermo Print

Although attempts were made to drain the marsh here many years before, it was not until the end of the nineteen century that the task was completed. Shortly after, in 1910, a Belgian company purchased a significant portion of the seafront and started making plans to create a seaside resort to rival the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, with its impressive Pier based on the designs of The Great Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851. From the beginning, the project attracted the interest and money of the wealthy. The aristocracy of Palermo started buying land and engaging architects to build magnificent summer villas, which sprung up around the bay, creating its own little world, for those who could afford it.
