Villa Tittoni Traversi, or Villa Cusani Traversi Tittoni, is a rural palace in Desio, northern Italy. Originally built by the Cusani family, the villa was rebuilt and redesigned in 1776 by Giuseppe Piermarini in a Neoclassical style. In 1817, the villa was sold to the lawyer Giovanni Traversi; beginning in 1840, the interiors were refurbished and the façade was added by Pelagio Palagi. The villa's extensive gardens are designed in a free nineteenth-century 'English style'. Tommaso Tittoni, a statesman and diplomat, owned the villa after World War II. The villa now hosts a library and museum named after Giuseppe Scalvini. The villa was originally built at the site.
