Villa Grosso di Grana - Marene
Villa Grosso di Grana a Marene è un'abitazione fatta erigere nella seconda metà del 1800 dal conte Carlo Amedeo Grosso.
La sua facciata, neogotica secondo la moda del tempo, ma con motivi d'ispirazione medioevale, le conferisce l'aspetto di un piccolo castello ed è per questo che l'edificio è conosciuto anche con il nome di Castello Neo Gotico.
La struttura in mattoni rossi a vista, progettata dall'architetto Luigi Formento, è caratterizzata da eleganti torrette circolari merlate, finestre sormontate da archi carenati, rosone ed il bel scalone a tenaglia, di colore bianco.
Il vasto prato, ora incolto, che lo circonda era un tempo un parco mentre la zona prospiciente la facciata era occupata da un giardino all'italiana.
Passato nelle mani del conte Vittorio Solaro di Monasterolo e successivamente dell'imprenditore Giuseppe Davico, ora pare appartenere ad alcune famiglie locali che si spera provvedano a fermare il degrado di questo magnifico esempio di architettura ottocentesca.
