Piero Portaluppi
Architect Piero Portaluppi transformed the city of Milan, building more than 100 buildings within its borders between 1910 and the 1960s. Luxury villas, offices, hotels, museums, a planetarium—all bore his distinctive touch: sometimes restrained and elegant, sometimes dynamic and playful.
