A beautiful studio villa built by the artist in beautiful Santa Maria del Sacro Monte. There is a collection of objects gathered from around the world reminiscent of a small scale John Soanes house. The most interesting aspects are the experiments he built to test some of his designs and the highlight is the studio space itself with a wax cast of two of the doors he created for the Duomo in Milan.

What an amazing home this must have been. Built of the side of the mountain with incredible views, inside this casa is full of Pogliaghi's lifetime of collecting. The garden is also festooned with interesting pieces. Interesting place and worth a visit

The grounds are a treasure trove too. If you like antiquities and want to see design out-of-the-ordinary in such a classic timely fashion, then do not hesitate to visit the Casa Museo Lodovico Pogliaghi. Would I return? Yes of course.
