Locations
Villa Menotti - Puglisi is located in the municipality of Cadegliano-Viconago, an Italian town of about 2,150 inhabitants in the province of Varese, Lombardy, situated 414 meters above sea level. In the first half of the 19th century, the territory of Cadegliano and Viconago was affected by a conspicuous phenomenon of migration to large Italian centers and across the border to northern Europe and the Americas. Having made their fortunes, many returned to their country of origin, and towards the end of the 1800s, the most prominent families built several Art Nouveau and Art Deco mansions with subtropical gardens. These villas were once the summer residences of the Milanese nobility and wealthy because of the mild and pleasant climate in summer, and the easy accessibility. Cadegliano's location, makes it easily accessible to the very close Swiss border, Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore and Milan.
The name Cadegliano is derived from the Latin personal name Catellius with the addition of the suffix -anus. Its inhabitants are called Cadeglianesi.

At that time, almost all of the frescoes on the ceiling and 4m walls were restored; the bathrooms and kitchen were modernized in 2013; and the wrought-iron gate and railings were sandblasted.
With the exception of the tower, all the facades have been completely renovated; the beautiful inlaid parquet flooring has been sanded and varnished again. Most of the electrical and plumbing systems were also renovated. To renovate the bathrooms, only fine marble and granite was used for wall and floor coverings, and only Philippe Starck, Teuco, etc. products were chosen for sanitary ware.
As part of the extensive renovation measures in 2007/2008, the roof reinforcement and roof were completely renovated; renovation, strengthening or refurbishment was also carried out on walls and ceilings whenever necessary. Several large Velux automatic windows were installed, keeping the wooden windows in style.
