Villa Arconati (Castellazzo di Bollate, MI) returns to the international spotlight as one of the most exclusive locations for the new installment of The Devil Wears Prada 2. A secret until recent weeks, the historic residence on the outskirts of Milan was chosen as the setting for some of the film's most iconic scenes, alongside sets in the United States and Lake Como.
The first trailers-already recording record views-reveal spectacular spaces within the Villa, such as the Corte Nobile, the Scalone d'Onore, and the Sala di Phaetonte, which serve as the backdrop for the return of leading ladies such as Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, along with Stanley Tucci and newcomer Simone Ashley. This choice confirms the Villa's role not only as a scenic space, but as a place capable of telling stories through its own identity.
Known as the ''Milanese Versailles,'' Villa Arconati was created in the 17th century as a project of prestige and total beauty, where art, architecture, and nature merge into a single design. Its ornate interiors and 12-hectare monumental park, including an Italian and French garden, still offer an immersive and timeless experience.
Today, the Villa is a dynamic cultural center and one of the most sought-after locations for events, fashion, and film. The choice to host ''The Devil Wears Prada 2'' marks a new chapter in its history: a bridge between historical heritage and contemporary imagination, where each production contributes to renewing its charm.
