The Villa Arconati, also known as the Castellazzo Degli Arconati, is a grand Baroque rural palace and gardens located in the Castellazzo district of Bollate, northwest of Milan. Constructed over the 17th and 18th centuries by the Arconati family—including Francesco Arconati, Giuseppe Antonio Arconati Visconti (4th Count of Lomazzo), and Galeazzo Arconati, with contributions from architect Giovanni Ruggeri—the villa represents an elaborate architectural ensemble of the period. Now designated as Italian national heritage, it serves as a museum and venue for events and meetings.
