The task was entrusted to Piermarini, author of the Teatro alla Scala, which had already helped to build the palace of Caserta. The architect Piermarini expressed in this villa, situated in Viale Brianza in Monza, all of its architectural language, reiterating the nature of rationality and cultured with the neo-classical elegance of linearity and simplicity style, already highlighted by the main front. The interior is composed of an infinite series (600) rooms, all linked together. The rooms are opulent and embellished with stucco, silk, frescoes, woodwork, fireplaces and bathtubs made of marble, with doors and lunettes wooden sculptures, friezes, marble flooring and inlaid wood, some designed by Maggiolini and impressive is the main stairway. Unfortunately, the Villa, under repairs, is not open to the public.
