The Casa della Meridiana is a residential building designed in 1955 by Giuseppe De Finetti located in Via Paolo Marchiondi 3, in the historic center of Milan inside the Quadronno District, which collects the open-air masterpieces of numerous archistars of the fifties.
The complex on via San Calimero
The complex of the Meridiana house is also partially divided into the autiguous via San Calimero. The complex part was built in 1929-30 and represents the only realization of the largest complex of stately residences.
The last two levels of the complex, organized with an apartment by floor, end with a large villa with terraces and hanging garden as well as a scenic semicircle staircase. On the ground floor there is a monumental entrance staircase and a long gallery open on the internal courtyard. The facade shows a sober classicism with four large pilasters that draw the base and a smooth surface with plaster that enhances the regularity of the openings, reconnecting to the coeval architecture of the Milanese twentieth century.
