Set in the picturesque Brianza hills and adorned with magnificent nature-inspired frescoes, the villa is now a venue for bespoke events, including weddings, gala dinners and corporate conventions. <\/p>\n<p>The greenery design for the park was developed on three levels: tall trees, which are useful for creating natural backdrops within the area and are sometimes restricted; shrubs, which define the flowerbeds and pedestrian paths; and low lawns, which are in areas designed to welcome guests.<\/p>\n<p>The entire design was based on flowering calendars to ensure a constant supply of flowering elements throughout the year, regardless of the season.<\/p>\n<p>A number of distinctive features have been identified within the park that the greenery project intends to enhance specifically. In particular, the lowest part of the park is intended to be a library of trees, showcasing the typical species found in the surrounding areas. Another area is planned to feature an Italian-style garden, while the section with the greatest elevation difference will house a vineyard for self-production, immediately followed by a lemon grove with a viewpoint. The project also proposes an iron and glass greenhouse for hosting events and a bio-pool for photography.  <\/p>\n<p>To enable visitors to experience the park all year round and at all times of day, a scenic lighting system has been developed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Status: <\/strong>Concept<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customer<\/strong>: Villa Calchi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design team:<\/strong> M.
