Villa Necchi Campiglio: A 1930s Architectural Gem in Milan

Located in Milan’s elegant Via Mozart, Villa Necchi Campiglio is a stunning example of 1930s Rationalist architecture, designed by the visionary Piero Portaluppi. Completed in 1935, this luxurious residence was built for the industrialist Necchi Campiglio family, reflecting their status and love for modern amenities, including Milan’s first private heated swimming pool.

The villa’s interiors blend sleek, minimalist design with later neo-Renaissance touches introduced by architect Tomaso Buzzi, making it a unique blend of modernity and tradition. Visitors can explore the beautifully preserved rooms, which now house an impressive art collection featuring works by Canaletto, De Chirico, and Sironi, among others.

Visiting Hours and Booking

Villa Necchi Campiglio is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last entry at 5:00 PM. The villa is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Tickets can be purchased online through the FAI website or at the entrance, with discounts available for students, children, and FAI members.

Pro-Tip

For a quieter experience, visit on a weekday morning. Don’t miss the bronze sculpture Puro folle (Parsifal) by Adolfo Wildt, located in the garden’s veranda—an intriguing piece that embodies the villa’s blend of art and nature.
