The story of the Royal Villa began in 1771, with the arrival in Milan of Governor Ferdinand of Habsburg, son of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, which resolved to organise a proper court that would have gravitated around Milan, turning it permanently into the capital. In charge of the construction of the Royal Villa of Monza, conceived as the first of a collection of palaces that should have regenerated the Habsburg domains spread throughout Europe, was the Imperial architect Giuseppe Piermarini. The construction started in 1777 and was completed in only three years (almost unthinkable at the time). The building (designed as the country residence of Archduke Ferdinand and composed of approximately 700 rooms) is one of the clearest examples of rational neoclassic architecture: it consists of three main bodies forming a U shape that delimit the main courtyard, enclosed by two cubic buildings (the Chapel and the stalls) from which the service buildings branch off.
