Architect - Raffaele Funaro who graduated from the Milano University with Honours in Architecture in 1966 had many years to master his craft. This was his last great Italian Masterpiece work of art in this lifetime. He was a few short months away to see the final completion of his work.
He left us in August of 2017. Now like Art the value of his work has gone up in value and this one of a kind Italian Villa Estate home located in West Vancouver BC Canada has become his last great legacy.
