The neoclassical Villa Casati Stampa, the current municipal seat of Muggiò, was designed between 1790 and 1796 by the celebrated Austrian architect Leopoldo Pollack. The building rose on a pre-existing 16th-century structure. At the center of one of the two major sides of the villa, Pollack grafted a cylindrical body with an elliptical base leaning towards the park; at the same, but on the opposite front, the entrance portico was built.
The building was crowned by a vast park of more than twenty thousand square meters, conceived in the English forms and paying great attention to the search for a complementary relationship with the architecture of the house. Today, the green complex has been transformed and used as a playground.
