Over the summer, My friend Alexis and I saw the film, "I Am Love" and she turned me on to the real star of the film...the home where the fictional Recchi family reside.
The house -- which is actually Villa Necchi Campiglio -- outshines the subtle performances and chic wardrobes in the movie. Constructed between 1932 and 1935 by architect Piereo Portaluppi, I thought I'd give you a closer look -- including a fantastic video which reveals more fabulous rooms that you don't see in the film.
Diverertevi!
1 I love how austere the architecture is.
2 This walnut root stairway is such an amazing design.
3 The entrance to the villa-I love how the steps echo the awning.
4 A view of the villa from the garden.
5 I love the ceiling!
6 This wall is simply stunning.
7 The combination of marble and mirrors here is genius.The marble seems to go on forever.
8 These dramatic doors lead the villa's library.
9 This dining rooms is adorned by 16th &17th century tapestries from Brussels.

Awesome villa. I often get caught up in a movie, new or old just to look at the architecture. Period or modern the interiors are often great characters. Thanks for the video too!
