Villa Tizzoni Ottolini is located in the architectural complex of Cascina Increa, in southeast Brugherio, Italy.
History
The buildings in Cascina Increa are considerably, and until a few decades ago consisted of a mansion and adjacent buildings for agricultural use. The lodgings of the farmers, stables, barns and warehouses have consequently been transformed into residential buildings. There was also a park and an Italian garden, which have hence disappeared.[1]
The Villa was used as a holiday resort for the Tizzoni, Ottolini and Robbiani Milanese families.[2]
Architecture
Villa Tizzoni Ottolini is built in the architectural style of the eighteenth century. The building has a portico with five arches topped by a wrought iron balcony and two service wings that are slightly lower. The central hall on the ground floor is dominated by a coffered ceiling. The patio leads to a staircase with a balustrade.[2] In 1992, fragments of two eighteenth century frescoes were found in the central room on the first floor of the villa. They are white and blue: one representing an angel in the clouds with a burning torch in his hand, the other showing a mythological scene with a warrior, three women and a winged cherub with a crown in hand. There is also a visible sky fresco depicting Mercury. To the left of the Villa entrance one can find the Church of Santa Maria Immacolata which itself possesses two frescoes: the Nativity and the agony of St. Joseph.[2]
