The Little House of Roses

The tiny place called Casinetta delle Rose (1925)This was a tiny building located at the end of Via Roccasterone in an elevated position more or less where the staircase leading to the street level now stands.
At the top of this little road on Via Roccasterone, there was the Casinetta delle Rose.The beautiful location, private and comfortable at the same time, made it an ideal meeting place for classy couples, turning it into the VIP Tea Room for a while.

The Casinetta was destroyed in 1936 as part of the work to widen Corso Imperatrice.



These works required the sacrifice of many properties but gave a wider scope to the west entrance of Sanremo as it had happened to the east at the beginning of the century with the enlargement and the arrangement of Corso Cavallotti.
