History of the house
The Casinò opened in January 1905 as the “Kursaal”, designed by the French architect Eugène Ferret in Liberty style. In its first years it mainly served as a house for parties, performances and ceremonies.
A decree of 22 December 1927 officially permitted gaming; in 1928 the building was extended by two wings and the lateral domes. Closed during the Second World War, it reopened in 1945. From 1951 to 1976 the Sanremo Festival was held in the house, then it moved to the Teatro Ariston.
According to Wikipedia the owner is the City of Sanremo.
