Villa Antona Traversi, Neoclassical villa in Meda, Italy.
Description
Villa Antona Traversi is a neoclassical residence in Meda composed of a main building, entrance structure, interior courtyard, and gardens designed by architect Leopoldo Pollack. The spaces connect together to form a unified complex with distinct functional areas.
History
The site began as a monastery dedicated to Saint Victor in 830 and served religious purposes for centuries. After the monastery was closed in 1798, the land was converted into a private residence.

The halls inside feature Renaissance frescoes and decorative paintings that reflect the site's former monastic purpose. These artworks remain visible throughout the interior spaces where visitors walk today.
Practical
The property is open to visitors with access to multiple interior rooms and a large courtyard that was originally a cloister. The layout allows easy exploration of all areas within the complex.
