Our history

Villa Fisogni was built in 1957, in the post-war years, by Federico Fisogni, retired Alpini colonel, and Elisabetta Barbiano di Belgioioso, noblewoman of Milan.

It was precisely in a portion of the park of the historic Villa Belgioioso (at the time owned by Elisabetta’s family) that the couple, who were celebrating 20 years of marriage, wanted to build a lakefront house in which to spend their holidays on Lake Como with their family. In fact, the Fisognis had also spent part of the war in Moltrasio, alternating with their home in Palazzolo Milanese, near Milan.

After an adventurous career, Federico Fisogni decided to dedicate himself to a more peaceful life, and the Villa was used for decades by the family as a summer and holiday residence. Over the years it was inhabited, among others, by Guido Fisogni, son of Federico and founder of the famous Gas Station Museum of Tradate (VA).

From 2024 the apartments of the Villa are available for rent for exclusive holidays on the shores of Lake Como.
