Villa Necchi Campiglio is tucked away in a small side street (Via Mozart) off the busy Corso Venezia, only a stone's throw from Milan's city centre. The villa was built in the early 1930s according to designs of Italian architect Piero Portaluppi for a family of wealthy industrialists. The villa is a beautiful example of modernist architecture and one can see that there was no expense spared in its design. The manicured garden also features one of the first private swimming pools in Milan and a tennis court that is currently being turned into a glass pavilion.
