A triumph of Art Nouveau with details such as floral cornices and wrought iron. An explosion of color, male and female figures celebrating the bourgeois elegance of the era.
The Casa Galimberti, an icon of Milanese Liberty, is a residential building and a masterpiece of early 20th-century floral architecture. Known for its bold and sensual decorations, it is one of the most photogenic buildings in Milan.
Located just minutes from Corso Venezia in a neighborhood full of small shops and cafes, on the corner of Via Malpighi 3 and Via Sirtori.
One of the most original examples of Milanese Art Nouveau, wrought iron balconies, floral motifs and, above all, the realistic depiction of the cladding with decorations in colored ceramic tiles, representing male and female figures.
Sensual women in brightly colored dresses, half-naked men, and nymphs evoke Art Nouveau eroticism. Gold, green, and red dominate the façade.
Refined concrete and wrought iron balconies. If the front door is open, peek into the foyer to discover more dazzling floral decorations.
It’s a private building but visible from the outside, perfect for an “architectural selfie” or a stroll among historic buildings.
