Villa Litta Modignani, Milan

Built as a rural villa in 1687 by Pietro Paolo Corbella, secretary of the Chancellor Segreta.

Marianna, the granddaughter of Pietro, only daughter of Carlo Corbello, died at the age of twenty-two and the property passed to her young husband, Francesco d'Adda.

[3] The stairwell opens to the right of the access atrium, and had a fresco depicting the Life of Diana painted by Giuseppe Nuvolone.

[4] The Salons also have landscapes by Rosa da Tivoli and a large ball-room with high wooden ceilings and quadrature.

While it retains some of the frescoes, it has lost nearly all the movable artworks, which once included a Madonna and Child by Bernardino Luini.
