Meina
Meina is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 77 km northwest of Milan, about 100 km northeast of Turin and about 40 km north of Novara, on the southern area of Lake Maggiore. Often called the "village of villas" because of the many grand residences that dot the shoreline. Villa Eden is a neo-Palladian palace with Renaissance-inspired symmetry.

Overview
Overview
Villa Faraggiana has an elegantly classical facade with formal gardens that form the foundation of the Museo Botanico. The Palazzo Municipale was built in the 1800s with various coloured local granite stones. It boasts beautiful ceiling frescoes in the Council Salon. During World War II, Meina was the site of the massacre of 16 Italian Jews by German SS soldiers as part of the Lake Maggiore massacres. The event inspired the movie Hotel Meina, directed in 2007 by Carlo Lizzani.
