Villa Sioli Legnani is a historic Villa built as a farmhouse at the end of the 16th century.
Since the 17th century, by will of the then Owner the enlightenlist and intelectual Marquis Giuseppe Gorini Corio, it has taken on the current form of “Noble House”. After several changes of ownership, in 1820 it was purchased by Francesco Legnani, together with a large landed property, of which the Sioli Legnani family has still had, for two centuries, almost entirely.
The Villa is enriched by an English Garden, designed and created by the famous architect Giuseppe Balzaretto (the same author of the current Indro Montanelli Gardens in Milan, in 1850, commissioned by Luigi Legnani. The Architect availed himself of the collaboration of some great artists of the time such as Luigi Scrosati, Vincenzo Vela and Francesco Hayez, to bring precious decorations to the interiors of the Residence.
