About Ville Aperte in Brianza Autumn

Following the spring event, Ville Aperte in Brianza returns in autumn to open historic villas, stately homes, parks, and art sites normally inaccessible to the public. Between late September and early October, over two hundred public and private sites become visitable with guided tours and itineraries in numerous municipalities across Monza and Brianza, Milan, Lecco, and Como, to discover the history and hidden treasures of the Lombard territory.

Autumn's Brianza Treasures

The Autumn Edition of Ville Aperte in Brianza completes the event calendar promoted by the Province of Monza and Brianza. Between late September and early October, stately villas, palaces, parks, gardens, churches, and museums open their doors to the public with a rich program of guided tours, extending across a territory that includes Monza and Brianza, the Metropolitan City of Milan, and the provinces of Lecco and Como.

A Widespread Heritage to Discover

The autumn edition is the largest: in past seasons, it has led to the opening of over 200 sites, both public and private. It's an opportunity to step across the threshold of usually closed places, from grand noble villas to historic parks, accompanied by guides who narrate their architecture, art, and history. It's a way to read the Brianza landscape not as a simple urban belt of Milan, but as a land rich in history, aristocratic holidays, and cultural heritage.

Itineraries for Adults and Families

As with the spring edition, the program offers thematic itineraries and guided tours designed for adults and families, curated by associations specializing in the valorization of the territory. With its reference base in Monza, the provincial capital, Ville Aperte in Brianza confirms itself as one of the most important widespread events dedicated to historic residences in Lombardy, capable of attracting a large and loyal audience each year.
