    Villa Taverna is surrounded by a large park. Local historiography reports how "probably", before being transformed into a villa (16th century), it was an ancient fortress: at the present state of research there are no documents that can prove it. The building, after having undergone successive extensions and adaptations based on a design by Pellegrino Tibaldi, definitively assumed a "U" plan, the traditional scheme of the Lombard patrician villas of the sixteenth century. At the beginning of the seventeenth century the villa became sadly famous for having hosted Giampaolo Osio, a murderer, and known by most as Egidio, the lover of the Nun of Monza (Manzoni characters). Osio, hunted by the authorities, found refuge at the villa, was later arrested and then killed in the basements of the villa itself.
