The Villa Archinti Pennati is a Neoclassical style rural palace outside of the town of Monza, in the Region of Lombardy, Italy.
The villa's design is indebted to Luigi Canonica and was built for Count Archinto, beginning in 1829. A 16th-century palace once stood at the site. Canonica also designed the surrounding landscaped gardens, adjacent to those of the Royal Villa of Monza and bordering the Lambro river. In 1862, the Archinto family sold the property to the Barnabite Order, who converted the property in to a school for boys. In 1873, the institute was suppressed and the villa acquired by Filippo Pennati. It remains a private residence of his descendants, and is now subdivided into apartments. [1] Much of the movable interior decoration was sold by the Barnabite Order.
The gardens contain two small temples, a pseudo-medieval tower, and an artificial lake, as well as other decorative architectural objects. [2]

Neoclassical architecture in Milan encompasses the main artistic movement from about 1750 to 1850 in this northern Italian city. From the final years of the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria, through the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and the European Restoration, Milan was in the forefront of a strong cultural and economic renaissance in which Neoclassicism was the dominant style, creating in Milan some of the most influential works in this style in Italy and across Europe. Notable developments include construction of the Teatro alla Scala, the restyled Royal Palace, and the Brera institutions including the Academy of Fine Arts, the Braidense Library and the Brera Astronomical Observatory. Neoclassicism also led to the development of monumental city gates, new squares and boulevards as well as public gardens and private mansions. Latterly two churches, San Tomaso in Terramara and San Carlo al Corso, were completed in Neoclassical style before the period came to an end in the late 1830s.
