The villa was built according to its original design by Count Antonio Cavazzi della Somaglia, VIII Count and Baron of Somaglia, to showcase the power of his family, in an area where he owned several lands and estates. The count entrusted the design to architect Giovanni Ruggeri. Upon his death in 1688, Antonio bequeathed the villa to his great-nephew Antonio Dati, who subsequently assumed the title of Count of Somaglia. Dati oversaw the expansion of the palace, transforming it into a majestic residence intended as a holiday resort and meeting place for great figures of 18th-century Italian literature and culture, but he never lived to see the work completed, which was completed by his son Antonio Giovanni Battista in 1749.

An idyllic spot for a rest and a picnic! We soak up the peace and quiet. From here, it's supposedly possible to take a boat across, just as pilgrims did in the Middle Ages. It's probably busier here in the summer.

Nice tour, nice town discovered with this tour, remarkable the city walls

The Church of San Pietro (Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart), in the nearby village of Gera, dating back to the 11th century, bears witness to the various eras the village has gone through and still retains a sacred and fascinating atmosphere today. At first glance, its colorful façade is striking, dominated by mosaics on a golden background with the images of saints and classic religious scenes, the creation of which is due to the work of Don Pietro Mizzi after the Second World War. Although the structure of the Church of San Pietro is rather classic, of Romanesque layout, it is the entire façade that makes it unique in its kind in Italy. Also on the outside, the spire bell tower makes a beautiful display, while inside you can admire frescoes from different periods, from the oldest of the Lombard school to the most recent of the 17th century.
