Tips from the Community

Stenio Melani
June 22, 2026, Villa Arconati Park

Villa Arconati, located in Castellazzo di Bollate and nicknamed the "little Lombard Versailles", is one of the most majestic examples of a Baroque villa di delizia in Italy. The residence is entirely nestled in the green heart of the Parco delle Groane and the Brughiera Briantea, perfectly integrating art, monumental architecture, and nature.

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie (also known as the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Graces) is one of the most important historical places of worship in Lainate, located at Via Pompeo Litta, 50. The building stands in the heart of the historic center, just a few steps from the entrance to the famous Villa Borromeo Visconti Litta. Seventeenth-century origins: The construction of the church dates back to around 1640. Pestilence vow: It was enlarged and embellished by the citizens as a thank you to the Madonna for having spared Lainate from the devastating plague epidemic of 1630.

From the Arconati family to the Busca family, around the mid-1900s the Villa was inherited by Donna Beatrice Crivelli, who is responsible for its preservation today. In 1907, the Villa still had some intact rooms, including the music room, the library, the yellow bedroom, and the reception room. After a series of decorative interventions during the early 1900s, the small portion still inhabited was renovated in the 1970s, until 1989, when all the valuable items still housed within were sold at auction.

With Galeazzo, the Borgo also reached its integrated configuration with the Villa, developing from this moment in adherence to it.

The golden age of Villa Arconati is intertwined with the lives of several generations of the Arconati family, who for two centuries were the owners and soul of the Castellazzo, previously owned by the Marquis Guido Cusani.
