VILLA NECCHI CAMPIGLIO
This superb villa surrounded by its park in the heart of the city is a masterpiece of rationalist and Art Deco architecture.
Surrounded by a vast garden with swimming pool, this sumptuous urban villa built between 1932 and 1935 illustrates the high lifestyle of the Necchi sisters, who came from a family of important Milanese industrialists, inventors of a famous model of sewing machine. A modern two-story house, equipped with all comforts, the building was designed in the purest rationalist style by one of the great names in architecture of the time, Piero Portaluppi. The interior, very elegant, recreated the typical atmosphere of a home of the upper middle class between the two world wars, where each room is perfectly distributed in a functional way in the house. On the first floor are the performance rooms (sublime veranda of the living room), on the second floor the bedrooms and bathrooms and closet, the attic is reserved for the staff, and on the mezzanine floor there is a gym, dressing rooms and even a projection room. Early 20th century paintings (De Chirico, Arturo Martini and others of the same caliber) and a series of 18th century art objects and paintings, including Teipolo and Canaletto, share the walls to be decorated; installed in the post-war period, it replaces the decoration originally intended by Portaluppi. All around is a lush garden with a free-access swimming pool. Take a break in the charming café-restaurant surrounded by greenery. The site was immortalized in Luca Guadagnino's film, I am Love, with the incredible lead role of actress Tilda Swinton.
