Villa Litta Bolognini Modigliani

Villa Litta Bolognini Modigliani is a two-story residential building with a rectangular main structure and two octagonal side sections in Vedano al Lambro. The mansion displays neo-Gothic features and is marked by a gatehouse facing Piazza Bonfanti.

The mansion was built between 1840 and 1848 by architect Luigi Clerichetti for Giulio Litta Visconti Arese. The land had previously belonged to the Gallarati Scotti family before being transformed into this neo-Gothic residence.

The villa served as an exterior filming location for Vittorio De Sica's Academy Award-winning film 'The Garden of the Finzi-Continis' in 1972. This connection to Italian cinema gave the building a special place in film history.

The residence remains private property and cannot be entered by visitors, though its exterior architecture is worth viewing from outside. Its location near Monza Park makes it easy to glimpse the building during tours of the surrounding area.

Duchess Eugenia Attendolo Bolognini Litta lived here until her death in 1914 and was known for her ties to the Italian royal court. Her story links the building to the world of European nobility.
