3 venues in Milan that will make your event pop

Palazzina Appiani

If you are aiming for grandeur and prestige for your event, this historic residence is the venue you have been looking for. A masterpiece of Neoclassical architecture, conveniently located within the largest park in Milan, Palazzina Appiani combines the gravitas of a long and distinguished history with the efficiency of a perfectly functional event venue. It was built in the late XVIII century, as the official gallery for the French Emperor Napoleon and his family, when they were set to make public appearances in Milan. Their presence in the city was nothing if not controversial, as it was the result of an invasion and it prompted a period of intense civil and political unrest. Amid all this, the Emperor had great plans for Milan and he aimed to transform it into a modern metropolis, as a celebration of his own power. The sumptuous interiors of the Palazzina, with their frescoes and Neoclassical decor in the style of Andrea Appiani, are the physical embodiment of this philosophy. Nowadays, this building is opened to the public for guided tours and on special occasions, and it is also available for high-end corporate events. Your attendees will reach it easily with public transport, and they will be awed by its grandiose structure and magnificent halls. Hire this venue for gala dinners, corporate anniversaries and other official occasions.

Villa Necchi Campiglio

One fantastic thing about Milan is the eclectic mix of architectural styles that can be found here. Layers upon layers of history can be traced just by taking a walk through the city centre. Take Villa Necchi Campiglio, for instance: amid a cluster of Neoclassical building, it stands out as a jewel of rationalist architecture. Commissioned by the Necchi sisters, Gigina and Nedda, it was designed by architect Piero Portaluppi and built in the early ‘30s. This was meant to be the epitome of the modern family home: comfortable, elegant and well-organised. Among its many extravagances, it boasted the first private swimming pool that Milan had ever seen, a private gym and a home cinema. This house was so modern that, seeing it today, you would scarcely credit its actual age. And that’s still the case even though, after the war, the owners decided to have a few changes made, adding marble finishings and fireplaces, to bridge the gap between the villa’s austere design and the current taste of their time. Nowadays, the villa contains two magnificent art collections, featuring paintings by great Italian masters such as Tiepolo, Canaletto, Sironi, Martini and De Chirico. If you are looking for a venue in which to host a memorable party, celebrate an anniversary in style or host a press conference, this is the place for you. In the fair season, don’t miss the opportunity to serve cocktails by the pool: your attendees will thank you!
