Surrounded by parkland, Villa Maddalena in Anzano del Parco, stands in the heart of the upper Brianza region, between Como and Lecco, inside the Lambro Valley Regional Park.
It was historically known as Villa Carcano, because of connections to the family of Milanese origin who ruled the fiefdom of Anzano from 1684, ennobled to a marquisate by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, thirty years later. In 1794, Alessandro Carcano commissioned the neoclassical villa from architect Leopoldo Pollack, who designed a complex of exceptional landscape, architectural, and botanical value.
The villa features a large oval hall in the Franco-Austrian late Baroque tradition and is located on the highest point of a moraine hill, overlooking the Erba plain and nearby lake Alserio.
The building is surrounded by an English-style park of approximately 40 hectares; its size led to the addition of the word "del Parco" to the name of the municipality of Anzano.
