Villa Friuli

Villa Friuli, also known as the DeMichiel House, is a historic house located in Torrington, Connecticut, built in 1915. This striking example of Mediterranean Revival architecture was constructed by the DeMichiel brothers, among the first Italian families to settle in the area. The house features a unique masonry structure with terra cotta tile and stucco, complemented by a low-pitch hip roof and distinctive dormers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and now serves as professional offices. Visitors and researchers can appreciate its architectural significance and the rich history of Italian immigration in Torrington.
