 In the middle of the nineteenth century the 'south wing’ was added as silkworm breed farm.Its history started with the purchase of the site, in the last twenty years of the seventeenth century, by the Count of Villarbasse Carlo Bartolomeo Rolando, who chose it because it was located in an eminent place and close to the recently restored parish.A decade of work radically changed its appearance from the pre-existing stronghold.
