That building gets the same architecture style of traditional houses that you can find in many german speaking countries in Central Europe, as Bavaria. |

It was probably an architecture style in vogue at that time. In my town for example, are findable villas built between the 19-20th century built in Viennese secessionism style, arabesque style and venetian neo gothic. |

No, that building, and many others in the mining areas of Sardinia, were built by settlers come from Germany, in particularly from the city of Freiburg, and from workers immigrated from Styria (Austria) to Sardinia in the second half of 19th century, for working in the mines. So it's not a stylistic current used in Architecture, like can be the neo gothic style (very popular on the island at that time).Those settlers wanted to reproduce faithfully the aspect of their homeland towns. |

I'm interested in a closer examination of this historical period which concerns the mining and industrial development of Sardinia in XIX century. May be you can start a topic in the History section. |
