Villa Maggi Corvini, Renaissance villa in Parabiago, Italy

Villa Maggi Corvini is a late-Renaissance building on Via Santa Maria, one of the four historic streets of Parabiago's centre. Its main entrance keeps a wrought-iron gate, and inside are a portico and an inner courtyard that once held a small well, which disappeared at the start of the 21st century. The Corvini park opens behind the villa.

Giuseppe Maggi purchased this property in 1606 as a secondary residence, and his family retained ownership for over two centuries until financial pressures led to its sale in the 1800s. This transition marked the beginning of its evolution into a public asset.

The villa's name comes from the Corvini family, who bought it in 1827 and used it as a summer residence; the Maggi crest still marks the entrance. Since the 1990s restoration it has housed the Ecomuseo del Paesaggio di Parabiago, and temporary exhibitions are held inside, including two devoted to cabinetmaker Giuseppe Maggiolini in 1965 and 2014.

The entrance on Via Santa Maria 27 provides access to both the historic building and the surrounding public park, which is open year-round for visitors. Comfortable footwear is recommended since the grounds include walking paths and open areas.

The Maggi crest over the Via Santa Maria gate shows a rampant lion under a comital crown, but the family's Parabiago line ended with Domenico Maggi, a mayor of Parabiago forced to sell by poor finances. The property then passed through the Prandoni and Lainati families before the Corvini bought it.
