The villa is the result of the eclectic neo-Baroque transformation of a pre-existing 18th-century building owned by the D'Adda family.
The first conversion, which took place between 1840 and 1845, was the work of Giuseppe Balzaretto. Becoming Villa Borromeo d'Adda, the mansion was later completed by Emilio Alemagna, the creator of Sempione Park in Milan, to whom we also owe the vast garden now open to the public, which crowns the building.
The restored Scuderie della Villa Borromeo D'Adda, a work of supreme architectural value, dates back to the last decade of the 1800s; designed by architect Emilio Alemagna, they are characterized by the large central courtyard topped by the iron and glass skylight, which makes the room very bright; around it, on two floors, are the spaces originally used as horse stalls, coach houses, harness shelter, barns and stables.
Since 1980, the complex has been under municipal ownership. You can also visit the complex's chapel, called Sail Chapel.
