2Villa Necchi Campiglio

This rationalist-style mansion, built by the prominent architect Piero Portaluppi for the Necchi Campiglio family in the 1930s, is built on half an acre of land in Milan’s historic centre.

The home was equipped with what was, at the time, cutting-edge technology: elevators, intercoms and the first private heated swimming pool in Milan. The family lived in the house until 2001, which makes touring the beautiful interiors–the high-ceilinged rooms, the mint green-tiled kitchen, the exquisite veranda–feel like visiting a (very wealthy) friend’s home.
