Villa Alba paintings

Many people visit Villa Alba in Kew and admire the beautiful ornamentation of its walls and ceilings. But do you stop to think who carried out the work? We were excited to discover that one of the decorators was Collingwood resident Ulysses Rizzi, who was also responsible for the decoration of many church altars as well as teaching at the Collingwood School of Design.
