HDI Museum Visit: Fondazione Piero Portaluppi, Milan, Italy

Another fun outing in Milan was the fascinating Fondazione Piero Portaluppi. Portaluppi was a Milanese architect, who was active from the 1910s to ’60s, Piero Portaluppi designed the Italian Pavilion for the Universal Exposition in 1929. After World War I, he went on to restore several of Milan’s historic Renaissance treasures, and began designing numerous public works and office buildings as well as notable private residences. The Foundation, which was established in 1999 gives a wonderful overview over his work and includes a study and research center and archive. The Foundation’s premises are situated in the center of Milan, in a building designed by Portaluppi at the end of the 1930s, exactly where the architect had his own studio.
