What is the oldest futuristic structure in Italy?

 Probably Villa Girasole.

Designed by engineer Angelo Invernizzi (1884-1958), it is located in Marcellise in the province of Verona. Built between 1929 and 1935 , it is undoubtedly incredible.

This futuristic work is composed of a fixed circular body, on which rests a rotating V-shaped body. The rotation is entrusted to rollers that travel along circular rails.

The idea of ​​the engineer who created it was to be able to enjoy the sunlight at any time of the day , just like a sunflower does by rotating its corolla.
