Villa Triste, Historical villa in Milan, Italy
The villa, located at Via Paolo Uccello 17-19 in Milan, features fortified walls, a garden with spotlights, and five basement cells constructed in 1944.
During World War II, Pietro Koch and his collaborators used Villa Triste, formerly known as Villa Fossati, as a detention and torture center for Italian resistance members.
A commemorative plaque installed in 1986 marks the location as a memorial site documenting the anti-fascist resistance movement in Milan during World War II.
The building stands in the Lombardy region of Milan, near several World War I and II memorials including the Monument To The Fallen and multiple Stumbling Stones.
Justice Minister Piero Bisenti ordered the closure of Villa Triste in December 1944 following protests from Milan residents and notable community figures.
