In 1906, it had grown to 560 looms and new plants had been opened or acquired in the towns of Cantello, Solbiate, Maccio, Giussano, Cagno, Figliaro.

The villa would stand as a symbol of his commercial success and embody the taste in fashion, the affluence and the optimistic outlook of the era.

[3] The villa hosts the first permanent talking museum devoted to Art Nouveau and to the Bernasconi family,[4] inaugurated in 2017.

[2] The building is also ornamented with several different ceramic tile friezes, depicting flowers and stylized vegetable elements in strongly contrasting colours.

The higher frieze represents silkworm butterflies, while under the eaves we can find single tile inserts with white petals (possibly magnolias’) on a blue background.

This hypothesis is corroborated by some preliminary sketches for the architect's own home, found in Mazzucotelli's archive, by the high quality of the Villa's decorative elements, and by their affinities with contemporary works by the artist.

Unfortunately, nothing is left of the original furniture, save for a marble column with a potted palm, now standing in the veranda of the main entrance.
