The Villa Belgiojoso Bonaparte, also known as Villa Reale and formerly called Villa Comunale, is a palace in
Neoclassical style, and was designed by Leopoldo Pollack. The main entrance is on via Palestro, facing the Giardini Pubblici of Porta Venezia
, the eastern gate of the city.
During the Kingdom of Italy it became the residence of Viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais and his family.
In 1920 the villa came under the ownership of the
Galleria d'Arte Moderna.[4]
Beside the villa is the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, an exhibition space for contemporary art, which was built in 1955 on the site of the former stables of the palace, destroyed by wartime bombing.[5]
The gardens of the villa, in
artificial lake, were laid out by Leopoldo Pollack.[6]
