Estensi Gardens and the Palazzo Comunale in Varese The Estensi Gardens and the Palazzo Comunale are located in the center of Varese. THE PALACE In 1766, the Duke of Modena, Francesco III d'Este, Captain General and Governor of Austrian Lombardy, decided to buy the residence located on the outskirts of the village for his holidays. Varese had been enfeoffed to him in a personal capacity with civil and judicial powers by Maria Theresa of Austria on 23 June 1765. Immediately after the acquisition, Francesco III began to expand the property by annexing the neighboring property. The renovation and construction lasted from 1766 to 1773, while the garden was completed in 1771. The architect Giuseppe Antonio Bianchi was in charge of the project and directed the works, including the design of the hill that became known as Castellazzo Flat to create the gardens. The palace consists of a central nucleus with two side wings connected by the underlying portico, which houses a stone cutter. The long façade on Via Sacco is equipped with three stone portals and balconies. Entering through the main portal, which leads into the central portico and the courtyard of honor, you pass from the austerity of the external façade to the internal façade, which is lively and overlooks the picturesque garden. The interior of the palace is an example of the so-called Teresian Baroque. The Hall of Honor (or Salone Estense) is full of precious elements such as the illusionistic frescoes by Lodovico Bosellini and the central medallion by Giovan Battista Ronchelli. Going up to the first floor, along the staircase of honor, there are four niches with eighteenth-century copies of female busts and putti with stucco lamps. ………..

Laghetto dei cigni / Swan Pond in the Giardini e Palazzo Estensi in Varese The history of Palazzo Estense and its beautiful gardens was born thanks to a real love at first sight. It is said, in fact, that Francesco III d'Este, Duke of Modena and governor of Austrian Lombardy, fell so much in love with the beauty of Varese that he requested it as a fief from Maria Theresa of Austria. From then on it is history: the Duke bought the villa, now known as Palazzo Estense, and entrusted its restoration to the architect Bianchi, making it his summer residence. The garden behind the building was laid out in Italian and French style, inspired by the park of the residence at Schönbrunn. The main feature of the garden is the parterre, punctuated by flowerbeds and low-stemmed plants, which houses the large central fountain. Today the area is a public park, directly connected to the gardens of Villa Mirabello, which attracts hundreds of visitors every day who crowd the paths to fully enjoy this beauty.

Palazzo Estense in Varese. Giacomo Leopardi was so enchanted by the Estense Castle that he called it "Little Versailles". The palace was built in the second half of the 18th century and served as the residence of Francesco III d'Este, Duke of Modena and Governor of Lombardy. Francesco III had been a guest of the Menafoglio family in Varese in 1755 and was so impressed by the city that he wanted to buy it as a fief, which he did. The Court Palace was built by restoring the villa of Tommaso Orrigoni, demolishing part of the existing houses and significantly modifying the rooms so that they could better accommodate the court and the authorities, while also being the perfect setting for rich and sumptuous parties. The project was entrusted to the architect Giuseppe Antonio Bianchi, who also oversaw the design of the splendid 18th century garden, one of the most beautiful in all of Lombardy. Enter the interior of the palace to admire the decorations with elaborate stuccoes, but above all the beautiful Hall of Honor. The garden, adjacent to that of Villa Mirabello, is surrounded by avenues and flowerbeds Text / Source: Turismo-in-Lombardia https://www.in-lombardia.it/it/ https://www.in-lombardia.it/it/turismo-in-lombardia/varese-turismo/monumenti-varese/palazzo-estense

Varese in northern Italy in the Lombardy region The city of Varese is located in northern Italy in the Lombardy region. Immediately after crossing the border from Switzerland, Varese is located on the edge of the Alps and in the middle of several northern Italian lakes: Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Lugano and the smaller Lake Varese. Very few visitors to Italy have Varese on their radar as a place worth seeing. That's a good thing, because mass tourism has no chance here, although Varese is worth a visit with its many gardens, palazzi, arcades, villas and museums. Above Varese is also the UNESCO World Heritage Site Sacro Monte di Varese with several chapels from the seventeenth century.
