The park of Villa Scheibler Simonetta is located in the Quarto Oggiaro and Via Alba neighborhoods in the northwestern peripheral area of the Lombard capital (MIilan). The park extends over 32 hectares of green lungs that offer paths for walking, jogging or cycling. The paths are surrounded by a great variety of environments: groves and large lawns, the modern "four basins" fountain, benches, areas for dogs and with children's play areas.
The villa is also called the "Little Versaille" because it is surrounded by the beauty of the park and its historical value.
The history of the park and the villa:

Then, the family sold the Palace and with the same structures it became a silkworm farm before being purchased by the Municipality of Milan in 1926. During the war it was a place to host refugees and became a Municipal Nursery
The villa has been renovated and is used for cultural events, and offers elegant spaces for the celebration of wedding banquets. I visited her by bicycle on my way back from a bike ride. The Villa is beautiful and the gardens are beautiful, tidy and well kep.
