Villa Affaitati Trivulzio

The villa features three distinct courtyards with a main two-level structure surrounding a square and rectangular courtyard configuration.

The estate passed from the Affaitati counts, who received the land from Charles V, to the Barbiano di Belgioioso family in the 17th century.

The villa represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Italian merchant families who invested their commercial success in building grand residences.

The complex underwent modifications during the Napoleonic period when it served as military barracks, leading to changes in its original residential layout.

An inscription in the main courtyard suggests the 1597 renovations were made on a previous fortified structure, though physical evidence remains limited.
