6Casa Galimberti

While the flamboyant architectural touches of this apartment building (like the wrought-iron balconies and decorative stonework) are charming, what really catches the eye are the painted ceramic tiles depicting floral displays and Art Nouveau beauties, some half-dressed and others in seductive poses, on a gilded backdrop.

The building stands in what is known as Milan’s Liberty cluster, so it’s worth taking a stroll on the surrounding streets, although none of the other buildings is quite as impressive.
