Portions of the frescoes in Villa Sartirana
chased by Cesare Sartirana, who commissioned a
major cycle of frescoes. In 1795, another Cesare altered
the garden and a ground f loor room, commissioning
paintings by someone from the circle
of Andrea Appiani. The Neoclassical Villa Boffi
was purc hased in 18 43 by the Milanese Borella
family, who were also the ones b ehind the hospital.
The villa is located on holdings that belong to
the Lucini and Carab elli families and is private
property. The villa itself has some ric hly frescoed
rooms and an imposing grand staircase leading up
to the first floor. The tall lookout tower is a slightly
unusual feature for a villa, but this one was commissioned
by Pietro Borella in the mid-19th century.
The large park is still in the English style that
it was moulded into in the 19th century .
