The Mother's Room

The first of the two bedrooms on this floor still preserves its original association with the collector’s mother Ines Castagneto, even though she actually spent very little time in the villa. The combination of splendid
furniture and extraordinary paintings constitutes one of the most surprising gems of Villa Cerruti. With the
exception of an early 16th-century Madonna and Child, one of the finest works by Leonardo’s pupil Marco
d’Oggiono, the works arranged in three horizontal rows are all masterpieces of the first half of the 20th century. The room glows with the reflection of the gilded furniture on the wallpaper and frames.
