Bellagio -
Melzi
villa is to half road between Loppia
and the Village, he was architect
Giocondo Albertonelli has
to plan villa (1806) on commisione of Francesco Melzi d' Eril.
The villa was finished in 1810, but the system of the immense
park and the furnishings of the rooms were necessary still
some years for.
The villa was set up with simple and strict neoclassiche lines, to the sobrietà of
the outside they made contrast the precious decorations of the halls and the
rooms. Inside the villa that delineates the work of
Albertonelli mainly,
with of the wonderful neoclassiche decorations that enrich every atmosphere of
the building, beyond to the work of Albertonelli a stonecutter formation, upholsterers,
painters, scultori, all of highest level participated to the realization of this
capolavoro

, between these we remember Alessandro Sanquirico whom he frescoed
with Lombard landscapes knows
it from lunch and that one to it of the billiards, while the others were frescoed
from the Sinks, from the
Arrigoni di Trivaglio. The garden was
realized with great cure, levelling lands and creating small necks in order to
make to seem the larger park of its real dimensions. The distribution of the
vegetation, apparently natural, it was instead fruit of attention studies in
order to increase the optical illusion of background and distances.
Stendhal wrote several pages on the villa; the
pianista and composer
Franz Liszt loved to stay in the park
of Melzi Villa, in the moresco kiosk in river to the Lake Como and it was probably
the statue of
Dante and Beatrice to inspire his for the composition
Sonata
to Dante
