In Milan, Art Nouveau is known as Stile Liberty, a movement that became a powerful symbol of the city’s artistic and cultural renewal at the dawn of the 20th century. More than just an architectural style, Stile Liberty embodied Milan’s ambition to embrace modernity while forging a distinct Italian identity in the wake of unification.

As Milan rapidly expanded—its population and urban landscape transforming—Stile Liberty offered a visual language for progress. The city’s burgeoning middle class, eager to break from tradition, adopted the style as a statement of sophistication and innovation. Though initially resisted by conservative circles, the movement thrived in the hands of visionary architects and designers.

At the forefront was Giuseppe Sommaruga, whose daring designs, like the Palazzo Castiglioni, merged flowing organic motifs with bold structural experimentation. Other influential figures, such as Ernesto Pirovano and Alfredo Campanini, contributed iconic works like Casa Guazzoni and Casa Galimberti, shaping Milan’s streets into an open-air gallery of Stile Liberty elegance.

Today, these buildings stand as enduring symbols of Milan’s creative golden age. Efforts to preserve and honor this heritage continue, with landmarks like the Palazzo della Permanente gaining recognition as masterpieces of the era. Stile Liberty remains a testament to how art and architecture can define a city’s soul.
