Villa Sorra, Baroque villa in Gaggio, Italy
Villa Sorra features a central drawing room with a pavilion ceiling, surrounded by two smaller rooms, four apartments, and an imperial staircase.
The garden underwent changes between 1827 and 1850 under the direction of Giovanni de' Brignoli di Brunnhoff, shifting from French to English design principles.
The villa stands as a prime example of Emilian baroque architecture, built around 1800 based on designs by Giuseppe Antonio Torri.
The garden opens for tours on Sundays and public holidays from mid-March through September, while the park remains accessible throughout the year.
The romantic garden incorporates castle-like pavilions, artificial ruins, and classical temples, creating specific paths that evoke different emotional responses.
