Villa Farragiana a Meina, 19th-century Neoclassical villa in Meina, Italy
The villa features a lake-facing facade with a colonnaded portico, grand staircase, and eleven medallions depicting notable Italian figures sculpted above the windows.
Alessandro Farragiana commissioned the construction of this summer residence in 1855, following architectural designs created by Antonio Bussero for the lakeside property.
Senator Raffaello Faraggiana maintained a substantial collection of artistic treasures and natural specimens within the villa, which were later moved to Novara.
The religious order of Poverelle from Bergamo received the villa as a donation in 1949 and transformed the property into a care facility.
The entrance gates display stone lions on pillars, while the tympanum presents an allegorical representation of Fame above the central portico.
