Parco e villa Rossi

Parco e Villa Rossi is an estate on the slopes of Mount Summano with a 19th-century palace and broad grounds. The buildings display eclectic architecture that blends various styles and periods together.

An industrialist acquired Villa Bonifacio-Velo in 1865 and commissioned its transformation over two decades under a noted architect. This process turned it into a residence and model farm for the family.

The house preserves 19th-century taste with rooms decorated in Pompeian style and marble floors throughout. These choices show how wealthy families of that time lived and what forms of beauty they valued in their homes.

The grounds are easy to walk through on foot, with paths in good condition for visitors. Apps like Ubiika and IZI.Travel provide extra information through your smartphone or tablet as you move about.

The grounds are divided into two distinct areas: one for farming and one with winding paths and water features. This split shows how the original owners wanted to blend working land with ornamental gardens.
