The house was built by the Russian architect Yuri Kologrivov (1692(?) — 1754) in the style of a seenteenth-century Italian villa; features of the West-European Rococo and the early Classicism are embodied in the building.
The Italian House was used as "the palace for small receptions", as well it served as a kind of private museum, where Sheremetevs, the owners of Kuskovo, kept and showed their collection of atrworks.
