Villa Brivio, Brugherio

Villa Brivio is a nineteenth-century building in the Baraggia district of Brugherio, Italy, standing on a site with origins reaching back to a sixteenth-century villa, of which only the adjoining Church of Saint Margaret survives. The present U-shaped building dates from nineteenth-century remodeling and is decorated with string-course cornices, wainscoting, and squared ornament, with a belvedere turret rising above the roofline on the park side. It takes its current name from Marquess Brivio, who acquired the property in 1869. Restored between 1994 and 1999, the municipality-owned building now houses Le Magnolie, a psychiatric residential care center.
