*3.5. Villa Arena (1740–1840)*

This building was built on an eighteenth-century layout of which nothing remains, except the staircase with shaped iron railings inside the courtyard (see Figure 4).

Villa Arena is on three levels with a listed base.

The first one has balconies framed by triangular and curved tympanums, connected by a single balcony that runs along the entire front and extends towards the rear.

On the main front there are two long neoclassical railings.

Beyond the entrance gate with a piperno portal, there is a deep atrium covered by a coffered vault. Recently elevated structures have replaced the original roof.

The conservation state of the villa is discrete.
