Another beautiful Cathedral in Milan: This iconic landmark in Milan has stunning interiors and historically fascinating stories.

Villa Necchi Campiglio, historic house museum Full review
avatarpicture lowellschuppe THE BEST REVIEW
A spectacular historical home museum that doesn't disappoint: A beautiful house museum that showcases Italy from the 1930s. The architecture, lovely gardens, the artefacts and the history are the reasons why we chose to visit the Villa Necchi Campiglio. And we weren't wrong, apart from the gorgeous architecture of the vintage house, we loved taking a stroll by the garden too.

Gem Of A Place : Extremely interesting to visit an early Christian church built in austere Roman style. Comparing with the later building lofty standards this church may appear modest still I think it's closer to the ideas of biblical simplicity.
