THE HISTORY
Wanted in the seventeenth century by a Spanish nobleman, the then Palazzo Bolagnos passes under different properties rediscovering each time the scene of exciting events. From "Casa da nobili" to "Casa da Incito" the history of this place knows the intrigues of secret societies and the "fasti manufatturieri", until at the beginning of the nineteenth century it was bought by the Visconti family returning to its original nature of building noble.
SALA VISCONTI
The Palazzo Visconti ballroom, the result of a renovation of the entire building commissioned by the Duke Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone and entrusted to architect Alfredo Campanini, who chose the Neo-Baroque style for this setting, is decorated with stuccoes, paintings and frescoes in the early twentieth century.
This is a double-height saloon built from scratch, demolishing the pre-existing walls and assembling, as we read in the essay by Marina Degl'Innocenti, authentic eighteenth-century paintings with stuccos, boiseries, wrought iron and frescoes of the twentieth century.
An exceptional environment conceived in the name of cultural continuity with 18th century aristocratic costumes and stylistic coherence with its sumptuous sceneries.
Originally conceived as a ballroom, the Sala Visconti is the centerpiece of the entire complex of rooms.
Thanks to its large size it can accommodate a large number of guests and every type of event with the certainty of having chosen a unique and classy environment.
It can accommodate 150 dining guests
