The Villa Rosazza Di Negro is at present a school (Casa America). Built in the 16th century, it owes its current look to restructuring by the architect Andrea Tagliafichi in 1787. It has a very elegant ashlar-work fa\u00E7ade, with gable and statues and has kept many beautiful frescoes in its interior. The public park which surrounds it features terraces, lily ponds and an English garden with a Neoclassical temple. Oscar Wilde recalled the villa in a sonnet he composed while staying in Genoa.
