Book Villa Necchi Campiglio Tickets

The Villa Necchi Campiglio was designed by Piero Portaluppi, who was one of the greatest Italian architects of the era. The villa is made in a nascent architectural style with large and bright rooms with excellent furnishings, decorative arts, and artifacts. The villa houses paintings from the 18th century to the early 20th century.

The Villa houses splendid collections by Alighiero de Micheli, a textile industrialist, and banker. There are more than 130 masterpieces from the 18th century including paintings, furniture, Lombard ceramics, and rare miniatures. The Princess’ room contains the collection curated by the architect Filippo Perego and Jean-Baptiste Isabey.

Make sure to visit the Claudia Gian Ferrari Collection that was given to FAI which includes 44 paintings, drawings, and sculptures. The collection is from early-twentieth-century Italian artists including Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Filippo de Pisis, Carlo Carrà, Giorgio Morandi, Mario Sironi, and Adolfo Wildt.

Angelo’s Studio is one of the most precious study rooms of the villa. The studio perfectly depicts the historicity of the villa and its changing styles over the years. The design of the studio was revamped during the 1950s with Buzzi’s more ornate Art Nouveau. The rooms are decorated with antique furnishings, walnut floors, and wood-paneled siding.

The Boschi di Stefano veranda is the villa's most Instagrammable place, situated right next to the library. The tall and double pane glass windows offer splendid views of the lush gardens. The Veranda has exotic green marble tiles on the floor that accentuates its regal look.
