The entrance gate encloses the front garden, which is embraced by the villa and takes one on a journey back in time.

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.
