Villa Somme Pichenardi - a luxurious historic residence of the Marquis Somme Pichenardi, built in the late 17th - early 18th centuries in the small town of Torre De Pichenardi in the province of Cremona. The villa is surrounded by a huge park with centuries-old trees, among which lurked tiny temples, ancient buildings and numerous statues.

The history of the villa itself has its origins in the late 17th century, when the noble family of Salah decided to build a country residence in their possessions Alta Brianza. By that time there were already standing observation tower and rural buildings of the 14th century, which contained products. It is to this building and the villa was added. Unfortunately, despite numerous searches have so far failed to establish the name of the architect who built luxury home in Lombard Baroque style. It is only known that the construction was completed in 1702, the ninth year - this date can be seen on the front of the chapel of Santi Ambrogio e Galdino.

In the 14th century on the site of the villa was a fortified farm, typical of the Lombardy region, whose task was to protect the fertile land between the rivers Oglio and Po. Here stood an observation tower, which in the 17th century along with the manor became a part of the residential complex. English garden with a beautiful rare flowers, situated in front of the villa, was significantly expanded in 1880, and the villa, you can find Italian garden - on its territory and now seen stone sculptures and images of ancient gods and mythical creatures.

In 1920 the villa became the property of the Marquis Paolo di Somma Pichenardi Kalvatone, a distant relative of the family Sala, who as a passionate amateur gardener greatly embellished his estate and garden. His work was continued by successors who today own villa.
