Prestigious residence of sixteenth-century origin
In 1400 the lands along the course of the Olona were populated by woods and were an ideal place for the hunting trips of the Noble Giovanni Simonetta, dignitary at the Ducal court of Bianca Maria Visconti. At the end of the sixteenth century, the estate was already prestigious to the point of hosting Cardinal Borromeo in early October 1583 when he came in person to check the veracity of the miraculous event that had occurred a few months earlier in S. Maria della Neve, the future Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows.
