Casa Giacobbe, Italian national heritage villa in Magenta, Italy.

Casa Giacobbe features a double-body structure with solid brick walls, rectangular layout, and a four-slope tile roof covering two floors.

The portico contains a painted cycle depicting military campaigns, commissioned by Giovanni Giacobbe and executed by painter Giacomo Campi.

The municipal property currently operates as a cultural center and houses the Museum of the Battle of Magenta, open for public visits.

The main hall contains a carved stone fireplace depicting the myth of Orpheus, representing an exceptional example of period craftsmanship.
