Overview
Overview
In 1817, the villa was sold to the lawyer Giovanni Traversi; beginning in 1840, the interiors were refurbished and the façade was added by Pelagio Palagi. The palace has extensive gardens, designed in a free nineteenth-century "English style". In 1900, the Villa became the property of Tommaso Tittoni, a statesman and diplomat. After World War II, the house functioned as a seminary, until, in 1975, it was acquired by the comune of Desio. The villa now hosts a library and museum, named after Giuseppe Scalvini.
