The History of the Villa Faraggiana Museum<\/h1>\n

Built in the first half of the 18th century at the behest of the Genoese nobleman Gerolamo Durazzo<\/strong>, Villa Faraggiana is one of the most significant examples of a Ligurian aristocratic holiday residence<\/strong>. Remaining the property of the Durazzo family until 1821, it was later purchased by the Ligurian nobles Faraggiana, who subsequently moved to Novara.
The last descendant, Alessandro Faraggiana<\/strong> (1876\u20131961), chose to forever link the history of the Villa to the community: upon his death in Albissola Marina, he bequeathed the residence and a substantial estate to the Municipality of Novara. The Villa was later opened to the public as a museum, with the aim of offering a tangible testimony to the customs and lifestyle of a bygone era.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Inside the Villa, each room has its own distinct historical and artistic identity<\/strong>. In the west wing lies the evocative Gallery of the Four Seasons<\/strong>; in the east wing stands the Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy<\/strong>, decorated with a fresco by the Savona painter Gio Agostino Ratti (1736).
On the main floor, one finds the music room, the library, and the bedrooms, enriched with a prie-dieu, gilded furniture by the cabinetmaker E.T. Peters<\/strong>, and refined 18th-century polychrome stuccoes, as well as a precious canopied bed covered in embroidered silk.
Currently, visits to the Villa are suspended and will resume towards the end of March 2026<\/strong><\/span>. It is still possible to request special openings for groups (minimum 20 people) <\/strong>throughout the year, subject to prior booking by phone at 019 480622 <\/strong>or via email at villafaraggiana@albezzanosrl.191.it.<\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/strong>
