History of Villa Rubini Redaelli

Villa Rubini Redaelli was built in the late 19th century by Engineer Giulio Rubini. He was the final owner of the Ferriera di Dongo, an ironworks founded in the 1500s. The Rubini family acquired the factory in the late 18th century, passing it down through generations. Eventually, the factory was gifted to Rubini’s sister Irene, married to industrialist Giorgio Enrico Falck. Moreover, Rubini bought the former Rumi family villa, demolished it, and built the current structure. It was a wedding gift for his daughter Luigia, who married Lino Redaelli of Lecco. The Redaelli family, notably, owned several steel manufacturing plants in northern Italy. In the 1960s, Count Alberto del Bono commissioned a major garden renovation project. Furthermore, the renovation was led by architect Francesco Clerici, who brought new elegance to the estate.
