HISTORY AND CURIOSITY

The story of this wonderful two-room apartment in the historic centre of Varese starts from a distant time.

Its construction, indeed, is dated back around the thirteenth century, making it one of the oldest buildings in the city. This house is located inside a courtyard in via San Martino della Battaglia and is known for being one of the domus in use by the Humiliated, remaining so until the order was suppressed in the 15th century by San Carlo Borromeo.

Thereafter, the residence was used by the order of the Poor Clares until the Napoleonic age. But the most important historical event linked to this house in Varese is related to Giuseppe Garibaldi. According to what is reported on a marble plaque that is beautifully displayed at the entrance of the building, it was within the walls of this property that the hero of the two worlds found refuge and shelter for a night during the fight against the Austrians, which took place between Varese and the province in August 1948.

Even today, moving through the rooms of this house, it is possible to feel that particular charm of a place that was austere and solemn, as recalled by the imposing granite staircase that gives access to the apartment.

POSITION

The houses in the centre of Varese that can claim the greatest historical and artistic value are those that fall within the circle of the ancient village (Via Veratti and Via Begaini), also including the area between Piazza Cacciatori delle Alpi and Piazza della Motta.

The uniqueness of this area is the narrow streets and the houses leaning against each other and the fact that it was bordered by 6 doors that led out of the Borgo. The property that houses this splendid apartment in the centre of Varese is located right near Porta di San Martino and the church with the same name, a building already mentioned in historical documents of 1233.

This makes the position particularly favourable to enjoy all the beauties and comforts of the city centre, without however renouncing the quiet that is appropriate for a prestigious residence or a small charming accommodation facility.
