There is a great surprise hidden somewhere in the heart of Milan. Concealed behind a solid wall, Villa Necchi Campiglio is open for visits. The residence is rather a country house peacefully residing by a sapphire pool, in the middle of emerald garden. Designed by Piero Portaluppi (1888-1967) in 1932 (and completed in 1935), the Villa charms with its every detail: single decorations, characteristic colors, noble materials and sophisticated shrewdness. 3.000 euros is required daily to maintain the tales that an incredible modern building has to recite us today. 7.000.000 euros were invested into the restoration of the historical evidence of Milanese architecture the Thirties in 2001. Incredible! The house was inhabited by its owners - Necchi Campiglio family - up till that moment! Died at age of 100 in 2001 the last proprietor Gigina Necchi (her husband Angelo Campiglio died much earlier in 1984, and her sister Nedda who lived with them died in 1993), having no heir, left the house to the Italian National Trust FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano). Since then, the Villa has been refurbished and open to public, to special events and even to movie-makers. Directed by Luca Guadagnino and released in 2009, “I Am Love” nicely exploits the beauty and chic of the mansion, prompting a desire to visit the house and to enjoy its uniqueness. By @NovozhilovaM
