Villa Cusani Confalonieri, Seventeenth-century noble villa in Carate Brianza, Italy.

Villa Cusani Confalonieri is a residential complex in Carate Brianza arranged in a U-shaped layout with an elongated central section and two unequal wings linked by a 16th-century portico. The municipal government repurposed the structure in the 1970s as a public library with various entrances along Via Bernardo Caprotti.

The building started as a medieval fortification before the Confalonieri family converted it into a residential villa during the first half of the 17th century. This transformation reflected the shift from military to civilian use as the area became more settled and peaceful.

The villa's name links the Confalonieri, the Ghibelline family that held the territory of the Agliate parish, with the Cusani, who later owned it. The northwest tower, surviving from the medieval fortified building, is the element visitors most often single out when walking the grounds.

The villa stands on raised ground above the Lambro valley, with the 17th-century Italian garden of boxwood parterres opening off the northwest tower. The garden follows a geometric layout, so it is best visited on foot along its paths.

The northwest tower is the only surviving part of the medieval castle destroyed by Frederick Barbarossa; the Italian garden with its seventeenth-century boxwood parterres starts from this tower.
