Since the 16th century, the town of Crotta d'Adda has been home to the Marquisate Stanga, and it began to make the first purchases of land. At that time the Stanga were already owners, in addition to the city palaces, of the castle of Annicco and the estate of Farfengo. Giulio Stanga is credited with the construction, in the second half of the sixteenth century, of the oldest building in the palace; to the building in the XVIII century the Cascina Palazzo and the stables are added. The expansion of land holdings leads to the construction of several irrigation ditches, including the new "Roggia Stanga" or Bernardella, necessary for irrigation and conversion of cultivated marshy areas. In Idelfonso Stanga we owe the works of improvement of the agricultural land and the important modifications to the buildings of the farmhouse that lead to the reconstruction of the stable and to the construction, at the beginning of the twentieth century, of a new and modern building for the breeding of pigs, of which the remains remain. In the years following its construction, the villa undergoes various renovations that alter its original shape. The complex is still today the property of the descendants of the Stanga family and maintains its agricultural and housing function.
