In May, Vimercate's historic residences open their doors: Villa Sottocasa, MUST, and Palazzo Trotti
Open Houses in Brianza is the event promoted by the Province of Monza and Brianza which, in its 24th edition, opens villas, palaces, and sites of the territory's historical-artistic heritage to the public. The 2026 edition, titled "Stories That Remain", includes a total of 48 cultural sites in 35 municipalities across the provinces of Monza and Brianza, Metropolitan City of Milan, Lecco, and Como, divided into a spring and an autumn event.
For the spring weekend, Vimercate (Province of Monza and Brianza) showcases its jewels: the historic Garden of Villa Sottocasa, recently reopened to the public, the MUST โ Museum of the Territory, and Palazzo Trotti, the municipal seat rich in frescoes and reception rooms. At the MUST, an exhibition dedicated to Mosรจ Bianchi and 19th-century painting is also on display.
Guided tours take visitors through the historic garden, museum, and noble architecture, revealing the thread of "stories that remain" within the city's fabric. The initiative, by reservation, is an opportunity to discover often inaccessible places up close and to read the history of Vimercate through its residences.

The Vimercate program also includes openings of the MUST โ Museum of the Territory (where the exhibition on Mosรจ Bianchi and the 19th century is on display) and Palazzo Trotti. The complete program for all 48 sites in the 35 municipalities is published on villeaperte.info.
