Salsomaggiore..#61

Nearby Parma, is a thermal town called Salsomaggiore which is famous for this eccentric kind of building totally designed according to the Arts and Craft style or what the Italians call Liberty style


This building is still used nowadays by curists and I crept inside using this elevator.


The upper ceiling is a beautiful glasswork as can be seen here


The walls are covered with 1930's frescoes, in the angle the girls in swimsuits were actually competing for the Miss Italia nel mondo title, I was moving in the middle of these nymphs and of the television cameras.


I found those chairs perfect in their simplicity , note also the modified Greek frise on the floor.


While the doors fitted perfectly to the crazy building.
