    In 1865, textile industrialist Alessandro Rossi purchased this 16th-century villa on the slopes of Mount Summano to make it his country residence. Upon his death, in accordance with his own wishes, it was converted into an orphanage. It is currently abandoned and closed, but a redevelopment project is underway.

    The villa's monumental entrance is symbolically guarded by two merino sheep, a breed that contributed their wool to the Rossi family's success. The exterior frescoes on the main house and the adjacent barchessa are in the Pompeian style, popular at the time after the archaeological rediscovery of the ancient city. The property also includes the small church of Santo Spirito and a tunnel that directly connects the villa's courtyard to the beautiful park below, thus avoiding the need to cross the road.
