Palazzo Arese Borromeo, 17th-century noble palace in Cesano Maderno, Italy.
Description
Palazzo Arese Borromeo is a 17th-century palace with a rectangular layout organized around an inner courtyard. The building features a covered Genovese gallery running along the sides and extensive grounds with pathways and period structures.
History
A nobleman named Bartolomeo Arese commissioned the estate between 1654 and 1670 as a country residence for his family. The construction project reflected his ambitions to build a substantial and impressive property outside the city.
Culture
The rooms display artworks with classical scenes and everyday figures created by Milanese artists of the period. These works tell of the time when the building was made and who lived within it.
Practical
The property is best visited on weekends when tours and self-guided options are available. Wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds are extensive and involve considerable walking through gardens and courtyards.
Did you know?
Hidden within the gardens stands an old ice house, a structure once used for storing ice harvested from nearby lakes. Such buildings have become rare today, as modern refrigeration made them unnecessary.
