Special Concert: Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini and His Legacy Between Tremezzina and Brianza
A new festival location, Castello Durini rises in Brianza, between Milan and Lake Como, perched on a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside.
The Durini Counts of Monza, a family originally from Como, have been linked to Tremezzina for centuries. Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini, a papal nuncio, patron of the arts and letters, and an avid collector, resided at Villa Balbiano in Ossuccio (Tremezzina). It was also Cardinal Durini who commissioned the construction of Villa del Balbianello, lending his name to the famous Loggia Durini, where LacMus presents its concerts.
