Villa Calcaterra, Historical villa in Sacconago, Italy

Villa Calcaterra stands along Via Magenta with a distinctive H-shaped layout, featuring dark red plastered walls on the ground floor and exposed bricks above.

The German military occupied the villa during World War II, paying monthly rent while using the building for interrogation operations against resistance fighters.

The villa now houses the Michelangelo Antonioni Film Institute, serving as an educational center for cinema studies and cultural development in Busto Arsizio.

Located at coordinates 45.597901, 8.846674, the two-story building includes an elevator and maintains regular opening hours for institute activities and conferences.

Speleologists discovered hidden passages within the villa in 2018, including a mysterious tunnel leading outside the building that remains unexplored.
