1Casa-Museo Boschi di Stefano

What makes this 1930s art deco apartment block stand out is architect Piero Portaluppi’s unique design: the corners of the top three stories look as if they were sliced off.

On each of these floors, he tacked on a rectangular shape resembling a covered sunroom; on two floors, a curved balcony surrounds the protruding sunroom in a triangular shape. The building’s interior boasts a house museum featuring the impeccable modern Italian art collection of husband-and-wife art collectors Antonio Boschi and Marieda di Stefano, who used to live in the building.
