Villa Olmo
COMO - Villa Olmo, 22100 Como, Italy
About
The construction of the Villa, which began in 1797, was commissioned by marquis Innocenzo Odescalchi to Swiss architect Simone Cantoni. As it was designed to be a summer retreat for the aristocracy, it was built alongside the lake; the villa was named after an elm planted in the middle of the ornate gardens, which is no longer alive today.
