Villa Grumello, also known as Villa Celesia is one of the historic villas overlooking Lake Como. It rises along the road that leads from Como to nearby Cernobbio.
The villa, which had already taken the name of Grumello, was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century at the behest of the Milanese banker Tommaso D'Adda and became one of the first summer residences on the shores of Lake Como. Over the centuries there were several owners who followed one another in this villa, including the Odescalchi and Giovio families. The second of these two families included a certain Francesca, the recipient of some love writings made in 1809 by Ugo Foscolo, hosted at the villa as were Vincenzo Monti and Alessandro Volta.
