Visit Villa Reale di Monza

A real journey through history from the Habsburgs to the Savoy.

The visit, lasting about 60 minutes, will begin from the entrance hall leading to the reception rooms on the first noble floor, which most of all still bear the neoclassical decorations; it will then continue in the spaces of the Second Floor with the celebrated apartment of the Prince of Naples, adapted by the architect Majnoni on the occasion of the wedding of Victor Emmanuel III; then it will be the turn of the library and its fascinating boiserie made of walnut wood and the apartments of the King and the Queen, finally ending in the central hall with its splendid view of the Royal Gardens. 

 

The history of the Villa Reale in Monza began with the arrival in Milan in 1771 of the new governor, Archduke Ferdinand of Habsburg, the penultimate son of Empress Maria Theresa. The newly appointed governor organized, with his wife Beatrice d'Este, a court in which the Lombard patricians could find their place and reason for being.

Ferdinand's arrival in Milan introduced new elements of development and interest in the Milanese scenario. The construction of Monza's Villa Reale and Gardens, under the direction of the architect Giuseppe Piermarini, must be framed in this context.

Built at the behest of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria between 1777and 1780 as a summer residence for her son Ferdinand, it took up the model of the Lombard villas.

The building designed in the neoclassical style, with a "C"-shaped plan and a central body for representation, to which were added two side wings for rooms and two more sections for servants and stables, for a total of nearly seven hundred rooms.

Of the Royal Villa, one can visit the First Noble Floor, the Representation Rooms and the Private Apartments of the Sovereigns Umberto I and Margherita enriched by the furniture collection, while on the Second Noble Floor the Apartments made for guests and Sovereigns with the Apartment of the Prince of Naples, the Duchess of Genoa and the Emperor of Germany.

At the end of the tour of the halls of the Villa, we suggest visiting the lush Royal Gardens and the attached Park, one of the largest gated parks in Europe.
