Villa Toeplitz, Architectural ensemble on Sant'Ambrogio hill, Varese, Italy
The villa spans over four hectares, featuring multiple water fountains decorated with gray Carrara marble and intricate mosaic designs throughout the grounds.
Built in 1901 for the Hannesen family, Polish banker Giuseppe Toeplitz acquired the property in 1914 and expanded the park to eight hectares.
The Castiglioni Museum within the villa grounds displays thousands of artifacts from African research missions collected by brothers Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni.
The park welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 20:00 in summer and 8:00 to 18:00 in winter, with free entry and permission for leashed dogs.
An astronomical observatory was established in the villa grounds, reflecting the scientific interests of Edvige Mrozowska, who influenced the estate's development.
