"Villa Panza Don't let your eyes fool you. Villa Panza is a not just a gorgeous 18th-century estate. The villa and grounds host the spectacular Panza Collection, an amazing grouping of art from the 1960s through 1980s, with particular attention to American artists. The individual pieces (paintings, sculptures, drawings) are incredible but what makes the collection are the site-specific installations from artists such as Dan Flavin."

An absolutely charming place. The villa itself is beautifully preserved, with a wonderful balance between its historic elegance and the contemporary art thoughtfully displayed throughout. It’s a joy to walk through each room, the curation is refined and full of personality. The gardens are equally delightful, with fruit trees and peaceful green corners that invite you to linger. We also had a lovely meal at the café, which made the whole visit feel even more special. Altogether, a colourful, uplifting experience, full of beauty, care, and quiet charm.

Villa Panza offers a unique blend of contemporary art and historic charm. Set in an elegant 18th-century villa surrounded by lush gardens, the space showcases a remarkable collection of modern and minimalist artworks. The contrast between the historic architecture and the bold, varied installations creates a captivating dialogue between past and present—all within a serene, green oasis.

What a fascinating place both inside and outside. We went mainly to see the modern American art. But found everything worth seeing. The grounds and garden are lovely. And the interior furnishings are spectacular. Then there are the surprising pieces of American pop art from the 60's intermixed throughout. The light installation across several rooms by Dan Flaviny was luminescentp and impossible to capture on photos. A delightful experience all the way around.

A must day trip outside Milan! It's just one hour driving from the city, and sort of near Malpensa airport. The villa-museum is a 700' mansion with baroque decoration and furniture. The owners are rich collectors that in the 1960s-1980s buy an impressive collections of conceptual and minimal american art. What it's impressive is that this contemporary art collection perfectly fit the environment, between baroque gold couches, chairs, mirrors, and african vases and sculptures. You can admire unique pieces (some made it for the villa as site-specific installations!) of Dan Flavin, Robert Irwin, and many more. Great videos explain the history of the collectors, and the artists involvement in the development of the collections. The park is lovely, with a great overview on Varese city. Few sculptures here and there made the walkthrough lovely and interesting.
