Castelli Gualino, today Hotel dei Castelli, on the promontory of Sestri Levante. These are three buildings in neo-medieval style built between 1925 and 1929 by architects Clemente and Michele Busiri Vici with the advice of art critic Lionello Venturi, commissioned by the Piedmontese industrialist Riccardo Gualino. The Castello dei Cipressi was intended as the residence of the Gualino family, the Castello dei Lecci as a guesthouse, and the Castello delle Agavi as a service area and accommodation for the servants. They were transformed into a hotel in 1950.
