Towards the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, there was an increase in the construction of villas along the seafront. By 1910, the "elegant villa" of Francesco Zuzzi, director of the Società Popolare Bagni, was nearly completed.

The building, developed over three floors and enriched with decorative details in terracotta and stone, featured a distinctive tower rising from one corner and figurative elements inspired by the neo-medieval revival. Among these were a triforium on the third floor of the tower, large arched windows above, balustrades, and decorations on the archivolts.


The Growth of Lignano: From Its Beginnings to World War II (1903-1943)

Since its inception in 1903, Lignano developed from the eastern part towards the west, with tourism initiatives leading to the construction of the first hotels and villas along two main roads. After the destruction of the bathing establishment during the conflict, the city rebounded with the design of the Terrazza a Mare by Provino Valle, marking a new phase of urban development. In the 1930s, infrastructure improvements, such as roadworks and land reclamation, consolidated Lignano as a renowned tourist destination, characterized by the construction of important structures like the church, the marina, and the famous marine colony.
