Villa Mapelli Mozzi, also known as Villa Mozzi or Villa Mapelli, is a large rural neoclassical-style palace in Locate Bergamasco, a frazione of Ponte San Pietro, which is located in the province of Bergamo, northern Italy.[1] The roots of the building date back to 1460, when the property with the castle was acquired by the family. From 1770, when it was built in this form, until today, the villa has been the property of the Italian noble family of Mapelli-Mozzi. With the back façade reaching almost 40 meters, the avant-corps and the lateral parts, it embodies one of the grandest neoclassical villas in the province.[2] Park of the Villa Mapelli Mozzi is accessible, while interiors of the villa are no longer open to visitors.[3]
