Villa Necchi Campiglio is a historic residence (house museum) located at via Mozart, 14, Milan. It was built between 1932 and 1935 as an independent single-family house designed by Piero Portaluppi, an important Milanese Rationalist architect, and is surrounded by a large private garden with a tennis court and swimming pool.[2] This was the second swimming pool ever to be built in Milan after the municipal one, and the first to be built on private land.[3][1]
Among the personalities who were hosted there were Henry of Hesse, set designer for the Teatro alla Scala, who was housed during his stays in a room called the Prince's Room in his honor. There was also the Princess' Chamber, reserved for Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy, a good friend of the Necchi sisters.
