The aristocratic Brianza: Villa Gallarati Scotti



Villa Gallarati Scotti, Vimercate (Monza, Italy)
My friends, welcome in My Own Italy!

Villa Gallarati Scotti, Interior
If you like to breathe the air of nobility, if you are enchanted by the magnificence of the Italian aristocracy, well...  I suggest you to visit Villa Gallarati Scotti, a few steps from Milan.



Villa Gallarati Scotti, The Garden

Located in the north of Milan, in the beautiful and rich Brianza, represents the baroque magnificence.


This is the grandest of the numerous 18 th century pleasure Villas that were built in this area. 
This magnificent baroque building was radically transformed along neo-classical lines between the end of the 18 th century and the beginning of the 19 th by the architect Simone Cantoni.

Of its previous plan, the Villa retained the wide U-shaped front courtyard with its monumental entrance from the village square, with two lateral classical temples. 



The interior comprises large, richly and harmoniously decorated reception rooms. 
At the rear of the villa there is a large English-style park, at whose northern end stands the Nymphaeum of Neptune.
