Description
Manta. House of the Lombard Counts of Lomborgo.
“Impavidum ferient ruinae. The Horatian motto engraved on the noble coat of arms on the façade introduces the character of the residence of the Counts Lombardi di Lomborgo, originally from Ostana. Nestled within the historic fabric of Manta, the residence presents itself as an integral testimony, in terms of structure and interiors, of an eighteenth-century Piedmontese noble residence. A tree-lined avenue with centuries-old lime and horse chestnut trees, nestled in a garden of approximately 3,800 square meters, leads to the property, built in the eighteenth century and conceived as a summer and representative residence for the noble family. This very purpose permeates the most stately rooms of the building, reflecting a late eighteenth-century architectural layout with consistent nineteenth-century updates. The interiors highlight passageways, vaults decorated with original continuous stucco, soft moldings, and curvilinear connections attributable to the Piedmontese rocaille style, with wooden floors, some of which are original. The rooms are distributed mainly on two levels, divided The residence is housed in two adjacent buildings of different nature. The first, a stately and noble building, constitutes the main body of the residence and houses the most historically significant rooms: seven rooms on the ground floor with a bathroom, a double internal staircase, and a further seven rooms on the first floor with two bathrooms. The main building has recently been served by an internal elevator. This building houses the most stately spaces of the residence, with rooms featuring vaulted ceilings reaching heights of approximately 3.30 meters, reaching up to 4.25 meters in the bedrooms on the upper floor, lending the rooms a rare sense of grandeur in terms of size and proportions. The second building, adjacent to the first, also extends over two levels and features a simpler, more rustic appearance. On the ground floor are three large storage rooms, which can be converted as needed, while on the first floor are four rooms and a bathroom. Of particular note are the two large attics, located respectively above the second building and above the stately rooms of the main building, which reach considerable heights of approximately 6 and 10 meters. 7 meters. These volumes, due to their size and vertical development, represent an element of great potential within the complex, rarely found in historic buildings of this type. Externally, the park surrounds the property on three sides. The main façade features a historic courtyard, where a canopy completes the main building's horseshoe configuration and can be adapted to suit different needs. As recently highlighted by the special opening organized by the FAI, which highlighted the complex's unique character for the first time, the property's characteristics and layout make it particularly suitable for conservative restoration projects compatible with its historic character. This allows for a variety of uses, from a prestigious private residence to hospitality, cultural, or prestigious projects.
