Prestigious historic villa a short distance from Milan. A small palace that stands majestically and maintains the charm and splendor typical of the period. Some interventions are necessary in order to exploit the villa in its entirety and potential. A perfect solution as the headquarters of a foundation, a school or as a location for classy events. Description The villa dating back to the 17th century consists of a main body that has an exceptional perspective glance toward the back garden, which in turn fades into the neatly cultivated fields. In the central body of the villa we find numerous salons , including on the second floor the ballroom with a richly frescoed ceiling ideal for parties, receptions and events that need a prestigious location. To the left of the central body are two large master apartments, to the right are several rooms including the space once used as a galloping post, later as a spinning mill, the characteristic round-headed openings and the arched ceiling with terracotta bricks are still visible. The side wings of the villa are noteworthy, the small church still consecrated, the icehouse with its characteristic conical shape, and numerous other spaces enriched by tall columns and vaulted ceilings. Condition and finishes The villa preserves numerous details indicative of the splendor typical of the period in which it was built. The post-World War II period unfortunately marked the beginning of a slow but inexorable decay that was then recovered from the mid-1970s, when, purchased by the current owners, it was slowly and continuously subjected to restoration and recovery works that still continue. However, still much remains to be done to be able to use the villa in its entirety and restore it to its former glory. Outdoor spaces Arriving at the villa from the nearby provincial road is a remarkable visual experience. The entrance gate encloses the front garden, which is embraced by the villa and takes one on a journey back in time. The back garden, thanks to the tall trees present, provides coolness and shade on hot summer days and discreet shelter for romantic walks. Potential uses The villa lends itself as a venue for a foundation or museum. It can become the right residence for holding conferences or corporate events, as well as receptions. It could be used as the headquarters of a prestigious foreign university or as the decentralized headquarters of a major music school especially because of its proximity to Milan. Location In the midst of the Lodi countryside we find this prestigious villa that stands in its grandeur, dominating the surrounding countryside and the town in which it is located, surrounding it as if in an embrace. Milan is also easily reached by a short helicopter flight of about 20 minutes.
