From Sept. 16 to Oct. 1, 2023, for three consecutive weekends, Ville Aperte in Brianza returns, the appointment in its autumn edition that offers the public the opportunity to visit historic mansions that are normally inaccessible and to discover the charm of the ville di delizia, the fine residences built from the 16th to the 19th century by Milanese noble families, who spent long periods of vacation and rest in Brianza devoting themselves to various leisure activities.
There will be 202 villas open, including 47 new entries, spread across 84 municipalities in Lombardy. A bill of events that coivolates five Lombardy provinces: Monza and Brianza, Milan Metropolitan City, Lecco, Como and Varese. This edition expands the offer on museums, religious buildings, waterways, industrial works of art, small villages and many other cultural sites. Visitors will get to know all the artistic “delights” of the area, along with themed shows, routes focused on inclusivity, special itineraries and much more, up to the collaboration with the Monza Park Festival.
“We are proud once again this year to be able to count within the package of artistic residences that visitors will be able to discover,” says the President of the Province of Monza and Brianza, Luca Santambrogio, “new proposals that testify to a Brianza that is alive, that wants to discover and be discovered. Among the many novelties 2023 we find, for example, on the territory of Monza and Brianza, Villa Reati in Lissone and the Historic ’Cafè Tropical’ Roasting House in Monza; on Lecco, the Borgo di Annone Brianza and Villa Subaglio in Merate; Villa Guaita and the Somaini Worker’s Village in Lomazzo, in the province of Como; the Sanctuary of Trezzo sull’Adda and its prepositural church, in the Milan area; and the Gianetti Ceramics Museum in Saronno (Varese). And for lovers of proximity routes, among the proposed activities we have also collected 33 itineraries on the territory (of which 12 are ’new 2023’), to be traveled on foot or by bicycle, to discover the open assets: among the new entries also a night itinerary to discover Brugherio (MB), a journey among the historical and artistic assets of Ello (LC), or even a route to discover the ’forgotten Brianza’ along the Lambro River. We thank the partners and sponsors who once again this year have decided to enhance our territory, which once again will know how to excite and enrich us.”
