== History and architecture ==
Today's building configuration is very articulated and it is attached to a development overlooking Santa Margherita's street<ref name=lombardiabeniculturali>{{cita web|url=http://www.lombardiabeniculturali.it/architetture/schede/MI100-01264/|titolo=Lombardia Beni Culturali. Architetture. Villa Brivio (ex) Brugherio|accesso=03 aprile 2015}}</ref>. The only testimony about the original structure (dated back to [[XVI secolo:en:16th_century|Cinquecento16th century]] and lost) is the [[Chiesa di SantaSaint Margherita (Brugherio)|cappellaof diAntiochia's Santa Margherita d'Antiochia]]shirne, annex to the building<ref name=luoghi/>. Since [[1869]] the mansion became [[marchese:en:Marquess|marchesimarquuess]] [[Brivio_(famiglia)|Brivio]]'s property, who it takes name from. In recent years it was bought by [[:en:Brugherio|Brugherio]]'s Commune and restored between [[1994]] and [[1999]]. Now it hosts the mental home ''Le Magnolie''<ref name="lombardiabeniculturali" />.
The U-layout is the result of reworkings that Villa Brivio underwent during[[XVIII_secolo:en:19th_century| diciottesimo secolo19thcentury]], when the buildings were isolated with a park, realized above the old aristocratic house which was Giovan Battista Bernareggi's property<ref>{{cita libro | autore=Luciana Tribuzio Zotti | autore2=Giuseppe Magni | titolo=Una città nel segno dei Magi: Brugherio 1613-2013 | anno=2012 | editore=Associazione Kairos | città=Brugherio }}</ref>. At both sides of the big entrance there are buildinsbuildings in which there was a [[:en:Porters'_lodge|porter's lodge]]. It takes to a inner [[:en:Garden|garden]] hidden in an L-shape construction, composed by two parts that were built in different centuries: one is [[XVIII_secolo:en:19th_century|19th settecentescacentury]], the other is [[XIX_secolo:en:20th_century|ottocentesca20th century]]. On the back of the last one is placed a park in which a [[:en:Turret|turret]] rises above the roof of the building<ref name="luoghi">{{cita libro | Luciana | Tribuzio Zotti | Brugherio: luoghi memorabili | 1987 | Parole Nuove | Brugherio}}</ref>.
