Built just before the Council of Trento (1545-1563), it belonged to the prince-bishop Cristoforo Madruzzo, one of the leading figures of the period of the Council, who chose it as a summer residence where he entertained many illustrious people.
Several decades later, the villa became the property of his nephew, Cardinal Ludovico Madruzzo who, in turn, bequeathed it to the prince-bishop Carlo Gaudenzio Madruzzo. Lastly, the villa belonged to his successor, Carlo Emanuele Madruzzo. Here the history of the villa takes on a shade of pink because the bishop fell in love with lady Claudia Particella who would resided in the villa next door. An underground secret passage was built that allowed the bishop to discretely meet with his ​​lover. The Pope refused Carlo Emanuele’s candidacy as cardinal because of his love affair. At his death (1658), also due to a nearby landslide, the building was abandoned and fell into disrepair.
In  the mid-1800’s, upon those remaining ruins, Felice Mazzurana, an important industrialist in Trento, built the present classical style villa that his adopted son, Paolo Oss, the future mayor of Trento, enriched with various pieces of outdoor decor . The park is home to a Lebanese cedar tree that, according to an assessment by technical forestry engineers, is 400 years old. Cracked open by lightning 50 years ago, it was treated until completely healed.
