Villa Olmo is a neoclassical villa located in the city of Como, northern Italy.
The villa was commissioned by Marquis Innocenzo Odescalchi to Swiss architect Simone Cantoni to have a summer retreat alongside the lake in 1782.[1] Works started in 1797 and were completed in 1812. The villa was named after an elm tree, no longer alive today, planted in the middle of the ornate gardens.[1] About 800 varieties of trees still grow here.
The villa was acquired in 1924 by the municipality of Como[1] and today is open to the public only during exhibitions, while the lakeside gardens are freely accessible during the daytime.
