Leaving the center of Cogliate behind, the road bends slightly and then points east toward the Groane and the town of Barlassina.
Traveling a kilometer and a half from the center, along the Via Piave, where once not far away was only countryside, on the approach of the woods is the site of the vanished Cascina Clerici, of which clear traces remain in the two forage silos.
On the opposite side, to the left of the road, is the knight’s castle, screened by the park’s vegetation and announced by the central turret that towers above the wall that bounds the property.
The building has a rectangular plan and is set back within an irregular lot occupied by the planted park. The entrance on the public street opens into the boundary masonry, with no particular feature of note other than a reference to the axis of symmetry on which the villa is placed, preceded by a garden arrangement with a central flowerbed and a circular fountain embellished with a sculptural group of cherubs.
Elevated on two floors, the building has elevations finished in exposed brick with the balanced decorative contribution of string-course cornices, low arched window exhibits and an eaves fascia painted with heraldic figures of dolphins, shields and plant curls.
The main façade, facing south, has a barely pronounced central overhang to which corresponds the elevation of the tower, the most architecturally distinctive element of the mansion.
