Villa of delights.

Villa Litta - Around 1585, Count Pirro I Visconti Borromeo commissioned the best local workers to design the Villa and the Park. Strolling along the garden paths, among the majestic fountains where the water features are still functioning, under the branches of the intertwined hornbeams in the gallery, next to the decorated vases of hydrangeas, leads to imagine the long trains of dresses and lace bodices and he posed them with an umbrella.

The architect Bassi gave the task of the interior paintings to the painters Morazzone, Lodola and to Maestri known as Volpino. Mosaicists and sculptors, such as Brambilla the Younger and Prestinari, furnished the garden with statues and sculptures, with classical and romantic movements. In 1808, the garden was partially moved according to the English model, which was very popular. Thus the geometric squaring of the paths was replaced by grassy hills, cold greenhouses for the winter preservation of citrus fruits and warm for exotic plants. Inside is the Museum of the Press that travels, between pedal or semi-automatic machines, within the history of communication and dissemination.
