The "ball-and-club house" was designed by Florentine architect Gherardo Bosio and erected alongside a 17th century villa known as "L'Ugolino", built to a design by Gherardo Silvani. Bosio also designed the swimming pool, probably seeking Pier Luigi Nervi's crucial advice when designing the diving board and platform in aluminous cement with stainless steel steps and handrail.
