The building takes its current name from the 19th-century owners, but its origin is older, as it is mentioned in a list of ""Noble Houses"" built before 1685. At that time, the palace and vast garden were owned by Countess Aurelia Besozzi, a descendant of a merchant family that became wealthy through the wool trade. In the 18th century, the family owned the largest land and property holdings in the area, including five farms (Besozzi, Galanta, Melghera, Nibai, and Imperiale) and their associated lands. In the second half of the 18th century, Giuseppe Tizzoni, whose family became one of the main local landowners in the following century, acquired the property. In 1831, Giuseppe owned nearly a thousand pertiche (units of land measurement) of cultivated fields, Cascina Olmo, and several buildings in the town center, including this palace, which he purchased from the Besozzi family on April 12, 1817. Tizzoni had the 17th-century residence renovated in neoclassical style, following a trend initiated a few years earlier by Ambrogio Uboldo, but kept the original layout centered around the main courtyard. The portico, supported by two pink granite columns, provided access to the main hall, which was once finely decorated with neoclassical motifs, as were the two adjacent salons. From the portico, the grand staircase led to the noble floor, while to the north extended a large English-style park, now open to the public. The renovation work of the 1980s led to the division of the complex, resulting in the loss of the decorated rooms, though the façades retained the neoclassical elements characteristic of the period's buildings.
