trj h I di Villa Melzi - La b(Ii

Villa Melzi nacquc come residenzaestivaa Bellagio di FrancescoMelzi D’eril

vicepresidente della Repubblica Italiana a1tempo d Napoleone ( 1802-] 805 ). It progetto, afTidato
all’illustre architetto (;iocondo Albertoll fu cseguito dal 1808 al ]813
La cosuuzione, perfetta espressione dello stile neoclassico, a circondata da incantevoli giardini dove
campeggrano statue classicheggianti e piante secolari ed esotiche. La passeggiataa lago lungo il viale
dei platani, la cappella afTacciaLa sul ponicciolo di Lol)pia, il padiglione museonella aranceraadiacente
alla villa, si ispirano anch’essiai canoni eleganti uilibrati, rigorosi dell’arte neoclassica,Autentico
spirito romantico emanainvece dai gruppi di rododendri giganti e di azaleesparsi sui prati e lungo i
pendii, verso l’idillico laghetto allagiapponese. Non a caso qui si ispirarono il musicista Franz Liszt e lo
scrittore Stendhal, ospiti della villa come altri celebri personaggi del mondo dellacultura e dellapolitica.
La dimora ed il giardino - oggi monumento nazionale nell’insieme - sono tuttora di proprieti privata.

FrancescoMelzi D’F:ril, Vice-President ofthe Napoleonic Italian Republic ( 1802- 1805) commissioned
the construction of Villa Melzi ashis summer residence in Bellagio. The project, which was assignedto
the illustrious architect (;iocondo Albertolli, was executedin the yearsfrom 1808 to 1813
This perfect example of neoclassical architecture is set in an enchanting garden with classical statues
- ccatuiV-old Ltiafr: The lakegl wini-i)F£rFtms:
the chapel looking onto the little port ofLoppia, the museum pavilion in the orangerie next to the villa
havealso been inspired by the elegant, harmonious and austererules of neoclassicalart. In contrast, an
authentically romantic spirit emanatesfrom the clusters of giant rhododendrons and azaleasrandomly
distributed on the lawnsand alongthe slopes,in the direction of an idyllic Japanesepond. It is no wonder
that this place provided inspiration to Franz Liszt and Stendhal, who stayed here asguests of the villa,
along with other outstanding figures of the cultural and political milieus of their times: The stately home
and its garden – now a national monument – are still privately owned
