              Melzi
               
              The
              Villa was built by Francesco Melzi d'Eril, Vice-President of the
              Italian Republic founded by Napoleon.  
              He entrusted the the design of the villa to a famous architect,
              Giocondo Albertolli who supervised the construction (1808-1810).
              Many illustrious guests have stayed at the villa, including Franz
              Lizst and Stendhal. The villa, still private property, is a
              national monument.  |
