Villa Mirabello, Historic palazzo in Varese, Italy

Villa Mirabello is a villa inside the gardens of the Palazzo Estense in Varese. Architect Clericetti's renovations of 1838–1840 gave it the look of an English residence, with a small tower and adjoining greenhouses. Since 1948 it has housed the Museo civico archeologico and the Risorgimento section of Varese's civic museums.

The earliest record of a noble residence at Mirabello dates to 1725, when Girolamo di Colloredo-Waldsee was a guest of the Gorla family. It later passed to Count Gaetano Stampa di Soncino and then to the Taccioli family in 1838, who commissioned architect Clericetti to renovate it until 1840, giving it an English-style appearance with greenhouses and a turret. Luigi Taccioli added a stable in 1839; after the Litta Modignani marquises, the municipality acquired it in 1948.

Since 1948 the villa has belonged to the municipality of Varese and houses the Museo civico archeologico together with the Sezione Risorgimentale of the Musei Civici. The name Mirabello was already used for the locality in 1725, when Girolamo di Colloredo-Waldsee was a guest of the Gorla family there.

Villa Mirabello stands inside the gardens of Palazzo Estense in Varese, so the museum is reached on foot through the park rather than by a separate entrance. The building has housed the Museo civico archeologico and the Risorgimentale section since it passed to the municipal administration in 1948.

The villa passed to the Litta Modignani marquises before the municipality acquired it in 1948 or 1949. Since then it has housed the Museo civico archeologico and the Sezione Risorgimentale of Varese's civic museums, so a single building holds both prehistoric finds and Risorgimento collections.
