Devon House (Station 1 Rundgang Hildesheimer)
The Devon House in Via dei Palazzi is the first stop on our tour. Built in 1863 according to the plans of the Italian architect Giovanni Sottovia (1827-1892) for Pietro Pozzi, an emigrant who became very wealthy as a confectioner in Porto, the house came into the possession of the Semadeni family in 1908, another emigrant family that ran a successful coffee house in Ilfracombe in the southwest English county of Devon.
