Villa Plinianina

Villa Plinianina is a patrician rural palace on the shores of Lake Como, located in the comune of Torno, Province of Como, region of Lombardy, Italy.

The palace was named after a nearby spring identified by Pliny the Elder and a nearby Villia Pliniana (the name means "Small Pliniana"). A house on the property was built on this remote stretch by Giovanni Anguissola in 1570. During the 19th-century, one of the owners was Marchesa Maria Trotti Belgioso.[1]

The present villa was built in around 1855 by Canzio Canzi or Giovanni Antonio Piotti from Vacallo.[2]
