Villa d'Adda-Borromeo

The villa displays three stories in its central block connected to two shorter wings, featuring classical symmetry throughout its architectural design.

Built around 1765 for the D'Adda family, the villa later passed to the Borromeo family and served as Canadian Allied command headquarters during World War II.

The interior contains ornate salons with mythological frescoes from the 1800s and neoclassical stucco work painted in grey tones.

The property extends over 5000 square meters with 142 rooms, including storerooms and stables, surrounded by a 70000-square-meter park with tree-lined paths.

The main reception hall spans two floors and incorporates specific architectural features designed to enhance sound quality for music and dance events.
