Villa Mapelli Mozzi, Italian noble estate in Ponte San Pietro, Italy

Villa Mapelli Mozzi is a noble estate in Ponte San Pietro, Italy, built in the neoclassical style with a long central front and two side wings. The facade shows large windows framed in yellow and follows a symmetrical arrangement with three clearly defined sections.

The estate belonged to the Mozzi family from 1460, when Giovanni Filippo Mozzi married Caterina Comenduno. The medieval monastery on the site had fallen into disrepair by the 17th century, and Count Enrico Mozzi rebuilt it as a Palladian villa between 1770 and 1780, attributed to architect Giovanni Moroni. In 1809 Angela Mozzi married Girolamo Mapelli, whose descendants took the name Mapelli Mozzi.

The double name records the 1809 marriage of Angela Mozzi to Girolamo Mapelli, whose descendants took the Mapelli Mozzi surname; the family has held the estate since 1460. The interior, closed to visitors, holds a piano nobile frescoed by Vincenzo Angelo Orelli, Paolo Vincenzo Bonomini and Agostino Comerio.

The villa stands at Sottoriva di Locate Bergamasco, a hamlet outside Ponte San Pietro, reached from the centre of the town. The park is open to visitors, but the interior is not. From the gravel courtyard, a black iron fence with stone pillars and a central open gate frames the facade.

The architecture closely follows Villa Reale di Monza, copying its horseshoe plan and the horizontal divisions on the facade. This similarity shows how royal building styles influenced country estates in Lombardy during the late 1700s.
