Guarene:

What is called "the Castle of Guarene" is one of the most magnificent and impressive private mansions in Piedmont area from the 18th century. It was built when the previous defensive medieval fortress had no longer reason to exist. The Count Giacinto Roero decided in 1725 to dismantle the old castle and to start the construction of a residence for his family updated to the changing times. He was active part in the Savoy Court in Turin and he was aware of the new delightful way of living mostly inspired to the French Aristocratic habits The Castle was intended for refreshing retreat in warmer months of summer, far from the busy town of Turin. The same Count Giacinto designed the new building in strict accordance with the style of the Famous sicilian architect Filippo Juvarra who was called to the Savoy Court in Turin to design the most beautiful baroque buildings of the town ( for instance the façade of Palazzo Madama ). Interesting to know that the signature on the project of the Castle of Guarene has been usually attributed to Filippo Juvarra due to the beauty and harmony of the baroque style of the construction.
