  The park's origins date back to the 18th century

  The origins of Villa Torelli-Mylius and the surrounding garden date back to the 18th century. At the time, the site belonged to the religious institution of the Jesuit Fathers in Varese and was destined for soil cultivation and grazing. In 1773, the religious system was confiscated from political power: part of the land was donated to the Duke of Francesco III Lord of Varese; instead, another area was given to prominent figures of the time, Francesco Torelli. In 1902, Torelli sold the box to Cav. Giorgio Mehlis: The new owner has removed any rural waste and presented a final decoration for the villa. Upon his death, the estate moved to a large number of heirs who, in 1946, sold it to Varese-based industrialist Achille Catanio, to be donated in 2007, to the municipality of Varese, which opened the park to the public in July 2008. As for For the garden, its development has seen a successive series of tastes and styles typical of different historical eras. At the beginning of the 19th century, the large natural terrace in front of the villa appeared in the form of an Italian restaurant with citrus bowls and statues of legendary figures. The entire park underwent a deep renovation in 1903, becoming a natural park with an area of ​​20,000 square meters. To this day, this preparation is known for the twentieth century, where important tree specimens, isolated or in groups, emerge from oak, maple, willow, beech and redwood.
