VILLA NIGRA


Among the major monuments present on the territory of the Town of Miasino, Villa Nigra is to be necessarily mentioned, a wonderful example of aristocratic country residence, among the most beautiful of all the Cusio.

Originally Casa Martinelli, the Villa is structured in three sections, of which the central part, with its sight on Piazza Beltrami, where the town hall is located, dates back to the end of ‘500. The central part is of the following century, whereas the south wing is of ‘700, with the orangery and the tower, built as designed by Architect G.A. Martelli.

The following restoration was accomplished at the start of the XXth century by Architect Carlo Nigra, from Turin, who became the landlord of the Villa that now is called after him. Nowadays the Villa is owned by the Town of Miasino that allows to use some rooms for exhibitions and concerts.
