Summer is the most splendid time of year in the garden of Villa Arconati-FAR (Castellazzo di Bollate, MI), which was historically built precisely so that our little Versailles could enjoy an elegant and evocative charm during this season.
For this reason, from August 1 to 29, Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m., you can take part in a special guided walk to discover the wonders of the monumental garden and some of the most beautiful rooms in the villa.
The tour will allow you to visit the most representative areas of the Garden, discovering the richest corners from a historical, artistic, and architectural point of view of the Italian and French gardens: the theaters dedicated to classical myths, the fountains with water features, the berceaux, and much more. You will also visit the lesser-known areas of the palace, which are not part of the traditional Sunday tour: the women's wing, with the Arconati private chapel, the gallery, and the mysterious alcove.
And those who decide to return on Sunday, presenting the ticket for this special guided tour, will be entitled to a reduced admission price.
TUESDAYS FOR FAMILIES
“THE PEACOCK'S TREASURE HUNT. Discovering the garden of Villa Arconati”
Every Tuesday in August, there will also be a special tour for Families with Children to discover the wonders of the garden of Villa Arconati together with Argo the peacock.
Argo is a clumsy peacock who has lost his treasures among the fountains, theaters, and ancient statues in the park. How will he find them? He needs the help of his friends, both young and old!
At the end of the search, Argo and his new friends will arrive at the treasure chest of found treasures... and there will be a wonderful surprise for the participants.
Places are limited! Reservations are recommended.
