Casa Campanini, built between 1904 and 1906 by the architect Alfredo Campanini as his residence, represents together with Palazzo Castiglioni one of the most refined examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Milan.

A distinctive element of the façade is the caryatids that frame the entrance, sculpted in concrete by Michele Vedani. These figures, while recalling the imposing caryatids by Sommaruga originally placed in Palazzo Castiglioni, are distinguished by an intense melancholy that makes them unique.

The entrance gate, a wrought iron work designed by Campanini himself and created by the master Mazzucotelli, takes up the characteristic floral motifs of Art Nouveau, a theme that is also found in the refined wrought iron elements present inside the building, including the elevator cage. Compared to the grandeur of Palazzo Castiglioni, Casa Campanini stands out for its more intimate and functional dimension, designed to better adapt to everyday life.

The interior of the building preserves a rich decoration typical of the Art Nouveau style, with polychrome glass, friezes and frescoes that enrich the spaces. Noteworthy are the original furnishings and the ceramics still present, as well as the ceiling of the portico in the courtyard, decorated with floral motifs depicting bunches of red cherries, and the wrought iron chandelier, evidence of the attention to detail.

Finally, observing the building from the outside, you can admire the chimneys on the roof, whose profile recalls that of pinnacles of sand, giving a further touch of elegance and originality to the entire structure.
