    The Polatta portico (now Canavesi), a sign of emigration

    The portico which leads into the courtyard, overlooked by the houses that once belonged to the Polatta family, is a cubic mass of remarkable scenographic effect with an arch cut at an angle, ashlars in the corner areas and a large frieze of cherubs, heraldic shields and plaques with inscriptions running under the eaves.
