EDITORS COMMENTS
Castello Makenzie, an enchanting Italian landmark nestled in the heart of Genoa, Italy, is a breathtaking testament to the fusion of Scottish and Italian architectural styles. Built between 1896 and 1904, this magnificent castle was the brainchild of the Florentine architect, Giorgio Coppode, for the Scottish insurance broker, E. Mackenzie. Situated on the Ligurian Sea, the castle's grandeur is a sight to behold, especially during the sunset hours when the golden light bathes its walls in a warm glow. The castle's design is a unique blend of Scottish and Italian architectural influences, with its towering turrets, intricate stonework, and elegant arches. The castle's history is as captivating as its appearance. E. Mackenzie, a successful Scottish businessman, fell in love with the beauty of Genoa and decided to build a castle as a tribute to his Italian wife. He commissioned Giorgio Coppode, a renowned Florentine architect, to design and construct the castle. Coppode, inspired by both Scottish and Italian architectural styles, created a masterpiece that reflects the harmony between the two cultures. The castle's construction took place during the early 1900s, and by the 1920s, it had become a beloved landmark in Genoa. The castle's grandeur and unique design have captivated visitors for generations, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the beautiful city of Genoa. This photograph, taken circa 1920s, captures the timeless beauty of Castello Makenzie, a symbol of love, history, and cultural fusion. The castle stands proudly against the backdrop of the Ligurian Sea, a reminder of the enduring connection between Scotland and Italy.
