Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori: general view
by SOMMARUGA, Giuseppe, Photo
Sommaruga’s major mature work was the eight-storey Grand Hotel Tre Croci and the attached funicular station (1908-12) at Campo de Fiori, all at the top of the Sacre Monte di Varese, where the rubble stonework of the lower storeys merges into the hillside, and incredible wrought-iron sculptures crown the pylons of the funicular entrances.
Campo dei Fiori di Varese is a mountain located in the northern part of Varese. It has an elevation of 1,227 metres. On the eastern side of the mountain facing Varese sits the Art Nouveau-style Grand Hotel Campo Dei Fiori.
