If you’re going for a sort of impressive/ grand/ palatial feel in your home – then I guess this is the way to do it.
This 17th century Milanese palazzo features stunning terrazzo floors, 28 foot ceilings, and original frescoes. And if that’s not impressive enough, the bathroom was redesigned by Giò Ponti in the 1920’s (featuring a pretty spectacular green marble floor and gold tiled walls.)
The relatively sparse (if you can use that word) furnishings really set the place off.
