It's’ built using almost exclusively local material IE the Monferrato land mixed in various shades of cotto and the brick that makes the construction as a spur of rock.
The architecture is a blend of typical elements of stately noble and characteristics-castellane who finds his moment of maximum expression on the Western facade where the ground floor opens an elegant entrance preceded by a double staircase overlooking a Winter GardenWhile on the first floor we face brick vista, saw-tooth decoration on the underside of the roof and the two towers overhead side cabinets.
Inside, the halls are frescoed with paintings and stucco decoration of merit. Among all the halls of major interest is the large living room called "Sala delle Feste", finely painted with vibrant colors and intense tones that celebrate the triumph of the profane and the mythological nature Pagan. The central theme is Olympus Greek where the gods are at boarding school among them narrandosi their mutual adventures, like in a tale that unfolds through various depictions. In this room is taken, at the end of the 19th century, a kind of censorship on the part of Beato Francesco Faà who in his will he wrote that the heir had to intervene on more indecent nudity and change the fresco of Venus and Mars at the door.
Of great interest are also the salt spoken of "First lounge" and "Paradiso", finely painted themselves with themes of biblical-religious nature.
Not accessible to the public is The Secret Archive, They seem to keep many rare editions of the centuries XV, 16th and 17th and a collection of precious scrolls.
