Villa Carlotta

Ente Villa Carlotta

Giuseppe Bianchini

During the World War I , Villa Carlotta was not sequestered by the Italian State, as the other properties of enemy subjects in Italy, but placed under the managements of an administrator. After the end of the war the building risked to be sold in a auction in favour of the Opera Nazionale Combattenti. Thanks to the strong will of senator Giuseppe Bianchini and the Rotary Club of Milan, the villa was finally entrusted to the Ente Villa Carlotta, a foundation especially constituted by a royal decree on 12 Mai 1927. This foundation still nowadays takes care of the villa in Tremezzo and uses all the amounts of the entrance fees for the maintenance and the conservation of the building, the works of art and the gardens.
