Description
Past Arese on the Milan-Varese main road, there is the vast castle estate at the centre of which, set in a beautiful alley is the Villa Arconati.
The villa was built in the 17th century, by Galeazzo Arconati on a former medieval site and in 1730 it was rebuilt according to the plans of Giovanni Ruggeri.
Around the splendid H-shaped villa are the Baroque gardesns, which represent one of Lombardy's best examples of landscape gardening. The water lilies, the animals, the woods, the reserves, the shaped hedges, make these splendid gardens a jewel of neoclassicism.
