Italianate homes are reminiscent of their Italian Villa roots, mixed with Victorian influence, with an added Italian twist. Occasionally, the Italianate is referred to as a bracketed style home, a Tuscan home, or a Lombard home. Any of these terms refer to the same general style of architecture, so do not be fooled by the different names.

History of the Italianate

Dominating America during the 1840s and into the mid 1880s, it should be noted that the homes of the Renaissance Revival period are not the same as the Italianate. However, the styles of architecture are quite often confused with one another; for example, they are thought to be a more lavish version of the colonial, but are not colonial in any way.

Style of Architecture

According to About.com's Jackie Craven, the Italianate home is "balanced [with a] symmetrical, rectangular shape" with a pitched roof. She also notes that they have a "tall appearance," generally two stories or more with "tall, narrow, double-paned windows with hood moldings." These homes also feature "wide, overhanging eaves with brackets and cornices, [a] square cupola, [and a] porch topped with balustraded balconies."
