Casa Reininghaus was designed by the architect S.G. Locati between 1895 and 1896 for Pietro Reininghaus who was from Graz and a beer brewer and importer. The building is an interpretation of late 19th Century Viennese architecture and on the order of the owner it included a large public beer house on the ground floor. The façade faces out onto the piazza and has rooms on the mezzanine floor and a café theatre covered by a large canopy of iron and glass.
