Seminars and company events
Villa Jucker hosts meetings, conventions, press conferences and gala dinners for up to 200 seated guests, with a smaller historic room and outdoor spaces for breakouts and aperitifs. The villa stands on Via Matteotti in Legnano, northwest of Milan, inside a park of more than 5,000 square meters.
The Sala Giare is the main business room, fitted with modern equipment for plenaries, conventions and brainstorming sessions, and it can switch from a conference layout to coffee breaks, buffets or a seated gala dinner. Corporate clients get projection, microphones and audio for live or background music, supported by a dedicated technical team. The venue also offers team building and full event planning, from the first concept to the final setup.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings use the Sala Giare for dinner, the Terrazza Vista for drinks in the open air and La Scacchiera garden for the welcome cocktail. Two wedding managers coordinate the day, and an all-inclusive formula can bundle flowers, a band or DJ, entertainment for children, invitations, photography and video. The villa works in every season and in any weather. Christenings, communions, birthdays, graduation parties and 18th birthday parties are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
The Sala Giare seats up to 200. The Terrazza Vista, on the top floor, looks over the park and seats up to 130 outdoors; it is reached by an internal elevator or by outside stairs. The Sala Caironi takes up to 70 and keeps the villa's period details: frescoed ceilings, Murano glass chandeliers, the original early 1900s wooden floor, wood paneling and stained-glass windows, with direct access to the park. It is equipped with an audio system, wireless microphones, an HD LED screen and internet. La Scacchiera is a garden area within the park for aperitifs, ceremonies and receptions.
Catering
Food comes from the villa's own restaurant kitchen, led by chef Alessio Citton, who designs menus for weddings and events and handles coffee breaks, buffets and seated dinners. The restaurant, Dinner, also opens to the public in the evening with a monthly Mediterranean menu and pizzas.
History and setting
The villa was built in the early 20th century as the private home of the Jucker family, executives of the Cotonificio Cantoni cotton mill, to a design by Giulio Brini and Simone Roveda. In 1976 it was leased to the Famiglia Legnanese, a local cultural association, which bought it from Cotonificio Cantoni in 1979. A two-level wing and the panoramic terrace were added in 1983 by the engineer Cesare Croci Candiani. The park has yews, cedars, white pines, paulownias and camellias, bronze busts of Carlo and Gian Franco Jucker and a monument to the Palio di Legnano.
Getting there
The address is Via Giacomo Matteotti 3, 20025 Legnano. The villa is a few minutes from the Milano-Laghi motorway, with ample parking nearby. Legnano station has suburban and regional trains to Milan, and Milan Malpensa is the nearest airport.
