Villa Litta, Baroque villa in Milan, Italy
The Villa Litta Modignani features a straightforward exterior design with elaborate rococo decorations throughout its ornate interior chambers and halls.
Pietro Paolo Corbella, secretary of the Chancellor Segreta and Marquis of Affori, constructed this rural palace in 1687 as his residence.
During the 1850s, the villa served as a gathering place for notable Italian intellectuals, including writer Alessandro Manzoni and painter Francesco Hayez.
The villa, now under municipal ownership, contains numerous frescoes, including Giuseppe Nuvolone's Life of Diana in the main stairwell.
Count Ercole Silva transformed the original formal gardens into an English Garden style, which underwent restoration work by Egizio Nichelli in 1958.
