Secluded in the heart of an elegant, peaceful part of central Milan, Villa Necchi Campiglio was designed in the early 1930s by the architect Piero Portaluppi at the behest of sisters Nedda and Gigina Necchi and Gigina’s husband Angelo Campiglio, who embodied the cultured Lombard upper-middle-class and were very much in sync with their time.
The building, nestling in an enchanted garden complete with swimming pool, is characterized by generously proportioned, linear volumes, while the first floor served as a prestigious reception area, with the magnificent veranda overlooking the greenery, the upper floor played host to the bedrooms.
The villa is today open to all, thus respecting the wishes of the Necchi sisters, who in 2001 entrusted the residence to FAI on the proviso that it would be transformed into a place to enjoy and to visit time and again, thanks also to the delightful garden, the numerous scheduled events and the stylish bistro concealed within the grounds.
The Garden ticket includes admission to the garden
