Villa Necchi Campiglio offers a unique glimpse into Milan’s elegant private life between the world wars. Designed in the 1930s by architect Piero Portaluppi for the Necchi Campiglio family, the villa is set in a tranquil garden with mature trees, tennis court and an iconic rectangular swimming pool, one of the city’s first private pools. The house museum preserves original interiors filled with bespoke furniture, paintings and decorative arts, projecting the refined taste and comforts enjoyed by Milan’s upper class. Visit highlights include the impressive reception rooms lined with marble and exquisite woodwork on the ground floor, and the more private family quarters above. Details like concealed radiators, a private lift and built-in wardrobes underscore the villa’s forward-thinking approach to comfort and modernity for its time. Today, the FAI has restored and staged the property to make it feel as if the owners have just stepped out, with family collections on display and thoughtful interpretation in multiple languages. The lush garden acts as an oasis in the dense urban fabric, and the on-site café set in the historic greenhouse is a popular spot even with locals. Highly photogenic and featured in many films, Villa Necchi Campiglio makes for a distinctive stop on a Milan itinerary, contrasting the city’s famous cathedrals and galleries by focusing on modern design, cultivated living and quiet sophistication.
