The proximity to Milan rendered Upper Lombardy a favoured residential area as early as the 15th century. Here, a veritable concentration of capital occurred, significantly accelerating the cultural and economic surge of the region. Thus, estates and pleasure palaces were erected, partly for personal enjoyment and partly to accommodate illustrious guests in a manner befitting their status on their way to Milan.
