Villa Recalcati

Villa Recalcati is a Baroque palace in Varese, in the neighborhood Casbeno, in Italy.

Antonio Luigi Recalcati commissioned an enlargement of the structure between 1756 and 1776.

The villa's illustrious guests included composer Giuseppe Verdi.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the villa and its grounds were purchased by Giacomo Limido, Gerolamo Garoni, and Eugenio Maroni Biroldi that transformed the building in the Varese's Grand Hotel Excelsior.

Varese in 1927 became the capital of the Province and in 1931 the provincial institution bought the entire building.
