Casa Cattaneo

Casa Cattaneo stands along Via Regina with four floors, featuring one apartment per level and a ground-floor commercial space with restored original elements.

The residential building, constructed between 1938 and 1939, emerged from a collaboration between architect Cesare Cattaneo and his mother, who owned the property.

The structure demonstrates the principles of Italian rationalism through its geometric forms, innovative window designs, and integration within the historical urban environment.

Visitors need to schedule appointments in advance to access the building, which currently houses the Archivio Cattaneo at Via Regina 41.

The exterior walls incorporate cement plaster mixed with marble fragments instead of traditional white paint, ensuring extended durability of the surface finish.
