context_page_description: Villa Somaglia-Balconi is a residential complex located in Brugherio, consisting of a main house and some accompanying buildings, which are separated from the original structure of the villa by Via Marsala, which leads from Moncucco to Carugate.
context_section_description: The mansion, with an L-shaped floor plan, was built in the first half of the eighteenth century. Inside, on its larger side, there is a triple portico that leads into the central hall. A staircase leads to the "noble" floor. Of its Italian garden, which has been much reduced, few traces are visible. Today, crossing Via Marsala one can find the remains of previous constructions, including a long building with two chatelaine-shaped angular towers which are slightly higher than the main building, formerly used as private residences.
