Historical origin

On June 7, 1902, Tang Shaoyi of Tianjin Customs Road signed the Tianjin Italian Concession Charter Contract with New Italian Ambassador to China Zarina, delimiting the scope of Tianjin Italian Concession. Located between the Tianjin Olympic Concession and the Tianjin Russian Concession, it faces the Haihe River in the South and the Jinshan Railway in the north. It is across the river from the Tianjin French Concession and the Tianjin Japanese Concession with an area of 771 mu.

In 1902, after careful investigation and planning, Captain Fellowtier, Italy's first consul in Tianjin, used the waste from the Haihe River to pad the marshlands, build drainage systems, build Italian-style garden houses and improve relevant service facilities, including clubs, Italian gardens, vegetable markets and police stations.

In 1946, the Tianjin Concession was reclaimed by the Government of the Republic of China.

In 1949, after liberation, the former residence of celebrities was taken as government office or distributed to state-owned enterprises and ordinary residents.
