Villa Redaelli

Villa Redaelli was built during the neoclassical era by the Redaelli family on the last extensions of the elevation that once housed the castrum of Barzanò, toward Torricella. In contrast to Villa Nava, with which it shares a boundary, it does not occupy the summit position of the hill but rather an elevated area halfway down the slope. Despite being partially altered by the surrounding construction and various interventions over the years, it still retains its original axial portico with three arches on the facade.

Carlo Redaelli, a priest belonging to the Redaelli’s family built a private chapel on the property, of which only the neoclassical bell tower remains today, sold the property to the Barnabite Fathers in 1825, who used it as a vacation residence for several decades. The villa returned to private hands in the second half of the 19th century when the Tarsis family, who had purchased Villa Nava, considered adding this villa to the property uniting the two gardens and the attached buildings into one vast estate. The two villas continued to be part of a single complex even when it passed into the ownership of the Della Porta family.

The villa was sold to the Aliprandi family in 1943, but after the war, it underwent significant modifications and was divided into multiple residential units. It later became the property of the Vismara family, at which point it began to be known as "Villa Giovannina." In recent years, it was renovated and transformed into a condominium residence.
