Meina is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about northwest of Milan, about northeast of Turin and about north of Novara, on the southern area of Lake Maggiore.
Meina is 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. 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.
