Villa Saporiti, Neoclassical architectural ensemble in Como, Italy.

Villa Saporiti features a rectangular structure with two levels and a prominent convex section facing Lake Como, incorporating an elliptical Hall of Honor.

The villa, constructed between 1790 and 1793 for Marchesa Eleonora Villani, received Napoleon Bonaparte as a guest during his visit in 1797.

The Hall of Honor displays extensive stucco decorations, sculptures, and a detailed ceiling with reliefs and patterns reflecting Roman antiquity motifs.

The Provincial Administration of Como maintains its headquarters at Villa Saporiti, located at Via Borgovico 148, with free entry during office hours.

The lakeside facade incorporates Doric columns, mythological statues, and medallions depicting fluvial deities, contrasting with the simpler street-facing side.
