Villa Rocchetta is a charming mansion located in the municipality of Bosisio Parini, set in a large park with an agricultural estate. Built between 1920 and 1923 on farmland that had previously belonged to an 18th-century farmhouse called the Bordone, the villa was commissioned by Milanese industrialist Giovanni Gussoni to accommodate his friends during hunting trips in the Brianza countryside. The architect in charge of the design and execution was Aldo Andreani, a promising technician of the time with a passion for eclecticism. The structure of the villa is described as butterfly-shaped, similar to a medieval fortress, but with the addition of elements and decorations from different eras.

The interior, a true masterpiece of the 1920s, is unique, characterized by a careful study of space and light. Architectural and building elements used in the construction, such as wrought iron, glass, wood and concrete, have been enhanced through special forms and innovative uses. The house's custom-made furniture is made of national walnut, creating a harmonious complete work signed by architect Andreani. The location of Villa Rocchetta is strategic, distant 45 minutes from Milan, 30 from Monza, 10 from Lecco and 40 from Como. The proximity to the SS36 state road facilitates connections to these important cities and Lake Como.
