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.
