Built by Piero Portaluppi from 1932 to 1935 for the industrial Necchi Campiglio family, it also has a beautiful garden.
Villa Necchi Campiglio is a historic residence 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. 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.

Milan Conservatory
It is a university for the musicians of the future and concerts by them are held in the Verdi (about 1000 seats) and Puccini halls.
Galleria d'Arte Moderna
Mainly features 19th-century Italian art.
Considered one of the finest and most beautiful streets in the city. Right near the glitzy Montenapoleone area, it is flanked by a series of beautiful villas, museums and palazzi, from all eras. It also contains parts of the Giardini Pubblici, an old and leafy garden and park. On addition to being an aristocratic-aired place, today, several elegant boutiques have opened up here, so it's great for both sight-seeing and designer shopping. Best station to reach it is that of Palestro right in the middle, but San Babila and P.ta Venezia are within decent walking distance.
Museo Civico di Storia Naturale
Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea (PAC)
A contemporary art space. In 1993 a bomb destroyed the building in a time when Italy was heavily committed in its fight against the Mafia.
Public gardens
An 18th-century park complex in the Montenapoleone/Porta Venezia district, designed in an English Romantic garden style. Inside, you can find rockeries, water features, fountains, statues and monuments, and other interesting features. You also get a planetarium, a natural history museum, and on the other side of the Palestro street, you can also find an opulent Royal villa which today hosts a contemporary art collection within grand ornate halls. Reachable via P.ta Venezia, Turati or Palestro metro stations. The gardens are in an excellent position since they're quite near to the Duomo and Brera district, and extremely close to the Montenapoleone street and the glamorous shopping area around it.
