The city had a strong textile industry in the first part of the 19th century.

The Palazzo Minoletti represents a significant presence for the City of Gallarate, which nonetheless bears witness to the artistic importance. It is considered, through an adequate project of re-use and enhancement, very important to act for its protection and conservation, destining it to a use that can bring luster, economy and tourism resources to the entire city and therefore deserves to be preserved and above all used. The challenge of being able to use the “reuse” of the building through an intervention that is not extemporaneous, as happened in the past, but through a shared public/private planning it could certainly be a “flywheel” for the economy of the city.
