The villa was owned by Pullè from the second half of the 17th century and still retains the coat of arms on the south facade, on the chapel and on some cottages. Pietro Monga, owner of the neighboring villa Saibante, bought it around 1830 and placed his coat of arms on the north facade and the public entrance to the chapel. The new lord enriched the villa with numerous archaeological finds: lapidary pieces walled into the surrounding wall of the villa and of the chapel, the sepulchral ark of the grammarian Gaiferio (died in 1324). As for the armory, very little remains: four small portraits of young people and a dozen firearms. These weapons adorn the Galtarossa library today. Crossing a majestic avenue of cypresses leads to the palace. The latter is formed by a central body with two detached wings ending on the right with a dovecote tower and on the left with the chapel of S. Lucia. In the middle is the garden. The workers lived in the left wing. On the wall where the houses open, the current owner placed a fresco depicting the Virgin and Child in the 60s, dated 1519 and coming from a farmhouse in Corrubbio. Inside the palace, together with the portraits of Camilla d'Arco and young characters, six landscapes by Andrea Porta are preserved. The background theme is always the surrounding landscape, the slopes of Mount Baldo, the morainic hills of Benacense. The presence in the villa of a well from 1516 and the park full of centuries-old trees should also be noted. After 8 September 1943, the command and headquarters of Marshal Kesserling took office in the villa. Giacomo Galtarossa bought the villa in 1929-30 and began to recover the complex.
