Villa Cagnola offers a journey through time and through the close - but never totally overlapping - fields of faith, art and culture.

Indeed it keeps a rich spiritual tradition (Villa Cagnola has been the seat of meetings prior to the Vatican Council, spiritual retreats, pastoral gatherings), and houses a collection of art (paintings, tapestries, sculptures and porcelain), bearing witness to a love for beauty, still fascinating and challenging.

Moreover, study and research activities, strictly related  to the founding aspects of Villa Cagnola,  find in the dialogue between Christian and secular cultures the highest development of the "beautiful design" that Guido Cagnola perceived  as promising outcome  of his donation.
