Villa Obizza

Villa Obizza, Palladian villa in Ricengo, Italy.

Villa Obizza was a Palladian-style country residence built for Giò Matteo Obizzi, a noble councillor of Crema, and completed in 1702 in the hamlet of Bottaiano, Ricengo. Its roof partly collapsed in the winter of 1986, the main facade gave way on 12 December 2019, and the villa collapsed definitively in January 2020; only rubble remains.

The Obizzi family owned land at Bottaiano from 1554 and commissioned this country residence from Giò Matteo Obizzi, a noble councillor of Crema, in the late 17th century; it was finished in 1702 and named after him. In the first half of the 19th century it passed to the Monticelli, and the Obizzi line died out with Vincenzo Monticelli, who had married Maria Obizzi in 1816. Later owners included the Invernizzi, who moved the furnishings and tapestries to their smaller villa at Ripalta Guerina. The roof partly collapsed in the winter of 1986, the main facade gave way on 12 December 2019, and the villa collapsed entirely in January 2020.

The villa's name comes from the Obizzi family, who held land at Bottaiano from 1554; the building was finished in 1702 for Giò Matteo Obizzi. After the last custodians left in 1971, the rooms were used to store farm produce, as they had been since 1912. The Invernizzi family moved the furnishings and tapestries to their smaller villa at Ripalta Guerina.

Villa Obizza stands in the hamlet of Bottaiano, in the comune of Ricengo, province of Cremona. The building is a ruin: the main facade collapsed on 12 December 2019 and the structure gave way completely in January 2020, leaving only rubble. It cannot be visited as a building; the site can only be viewed from outside.

The villa's name comes from its first owner, Giò Matteo Obizzi, a noble councillor of Crema who commissioned it at the end of the 17th century; it was completed in 1702. The Obizzi had held land at Bottaiano since 1554. The last family to own it, the Invernizzi, moved the furniture and tapestries to their smaller villa at Ripalta Guerina.
