HISTORY
Situated in the heart of the ancient village of Romano Canavese (settled by the Romans), Palazzo Caligaris is a baroque residence constructed in the 1700’s, when the local aristocratic families began build their homes around the original medieval village as the Canavese region began to prosper from the production of silk and textiles. Periodically under invasion (notably the Napoleonic army), the properties were constructed with austere defensive high walls towards the main street, but once inside, revealed charming gardens, porticos and loggias as well as highly decorative interiors.
INTERIORS
Palazzo Caligaris is configured in a horseshoe shape around a sunny courtyard, accessed via an imposing entrance gate from Via Risorgimento 12. The 3 wings of the property are connected via an impressive atrium and main staircase that links the noble apartments with its brick facade with its Savoy Blue windows and shutters, to the charming annex that faces the main portico. The current owners have lovingly restored all the original period features of the property, including the original stunning frescoes in every room, terracotta and colored cement tiled floors, fireplaces and doors as well as adding beautiful bespoke joinery.
