Villa Negrelli

The palace, in 19th-century styles, was perhaps built over three ancient buildings starting from 1200. From the 1600s it became the residence of the Negrelli family. It was subsequently enlarged and embellished, and inside it preserves remarkable 18th-century frescoes.

The villa is now owned by the Institute of the Sisters of the Company of Mary for the education of the deaf and mute.

Set in a beautiful plateau, not far from Caprino, the present 18th century palace most probably stands on the foundation of several 12th century remains. The villa became the residence of the rich and powerful Negrelli family in 1600 and in the following centuries was enlarged and embellished with decorations and paintings.

The opulent interior, with its remarkable frescoes of the second half of the 17th century, reflects the style of the period. Some frescoes are dedicated to Egypt and create a fascinating oriental atmosphere.

Today the villa is owned by the Sisters of the Fraternity of Mary for the Education of Deaf-mute Women.
