Tours of Villa Reale
Villa Reale in Monza 
The tour includes 28 rooms, including private apartments and reception halls: a true journey through history, from the Habsburgs to the Savoys and up to the present day, featuring the “Reggia Contemporanea” project and Michelangelo Pistoletto’s retrospective exhibition “UR-RA - Unity of Religions - Responsibility of Art.” The tour of Villa Reale is self-guided, with narrative interludes by certified tour guides who share “bite-sized” tidbits about the key figures of the past, the history, and the architecture. Info: reggiadimonza.it
