Villa Necchi Campiglio

The house was designed in the early 1930s by architect Piero Portaluppi and perfectly captures the history, worldly pleasures and day-to-day living of Milanese high society in the first half of the twentieth century. 
The house in the heart of Milan, was designed for sisters Nedda and Gigina Necchi and her husband, Angelo Campiglio. Set in a large garden including a tennis court and swimming pool, the home features an Art Deco interior, with marble bathrooms, sculpted ceilings and a collection of 20th century sculpture and paintings. Highlights include the grand walnut staircase with a sculpture of a kneeling woman by Arturo Martini and the conservatory or sunroom, which has a curvaceous green sofa and The Pure Lunatic by Adolf Wildt.
