Villa Necchi Campiglio

Villa Necchi Campiglio is a 1930s residence in rationalist style, now serving as a museum set within a private garden. The property features a swimming pool, a tennis court, and clean geometric lines on the facade typical of that period's architecture.

Architect Piero Portaluppi designed the building in 1935 for a wealthy Milanese industrial family. The estate remained in family hands until the 2000s and was later converted into a publicly accessible museum.

The name recalls the family who lived here and belonged to Milan's leading industrial circle. Visitors today see the interiors with their original furniture and 20th-century artworks, which show the taste of that era.

The museum opens from Wednesday to Sunday and offers guided tours in several languages. The garden can be visited together with the interiors, so plan about two hours for the full tour.

Technical solutions from the 1930s, such as ventilation systems and electric appliances, still function here in part. These details show how advanced the equipment was at the time for a private house.
