Villa Saporiti, Neoclassical architectural ensemble in Como, Italy.
Villa Saporiti is a neoclassical architectural ensemble in Como with a rectangular structure spanning two levels. The lakeside facade features a prominent convex section that houses an elliptical Hall of Honor, while the building combines geometric precision with refined decorative elements throughout its interior spaces.
The building was constructed between 1790 and 1793 for Marchesa Eleonora Villani. The villa gained historical importance when it received a notable visit from a French military leader during the late 1790s.
The Hall of Honor displays extensive stucco decorations, sculptures, and a detailed ceiling with reliefs and patterns that draw inspiration from Roman art. The rooms tell stories through their ornaments of classical traditions.
The villa now serves as the headquarters of the Provincial Administration of Como and sits on Via Borgovico. Access is available during office hours, allowing visitors to explore the interior during regular working days.
The lakeside facade displays refined decorative elements including Doric columns, mythological statues, and medallions representing water deities. This ornate treatment creates a striking contrast with the simpler street-facing side of the structure.
