I didn't expect much, as the villa was used by homeless people and as a meeting place for junkies for many years. Inside was accordingly a lot of garbage and unfortunately many graffiti. But there were also remains of once magnificent ceiling paintings as well as reliefs and frescoes in the former chapel.
HISTORY
The villa was built at the beginning of the 18th century by a nobleman named Marchisio Genevosio. After his death in 1736 his widow Maria Magdalena Genevosio left the estate. Now owned by her nephew, Modesto Genevosio, he gave the villa in 1743 to his brother Giovanni Aurelio, who sold it to Giampaolo Melina in 1746. Gianpaolo's second son, Michelangelo Alessio, died on November 4, 1793, so the villa passed into the hands of the Regio Demanio. Knight Antonio Callamaro, lawyer and principal of the Faculty of Law, bought the villa in 1838. In 1878, he donated it to his daughter, the wife of lawyer Edoardo Cattaneo. The Cattaneo family remained the owners of the villa from generation to generation until 1963, when the ownership of the municipality passed to Turin.

In 1971 there were short-term attempts for restoration. Between 1999 and 2009, the villa was maintained by the cultural association "I Leonardi", although with very limited possibilities, but at least it restricted the complete disintegration of the structure.
Today the villa is in a pretty bad condition.
