Taschen bas published a volume featuring 144 entryways of Milan built between 1920 and 1970 covering opulent, minimal, monochromatic and colourful styles.
Milan is known for many things—storied fashion houses, rich cultural heritage, a booming design scene—but when it comes to its architecture, the Italian metropolis tends to be overshadowed by the grandeur of Rome and Venice. Of course, there’s lots to marvel at beyond the Duomo, and a new book titled Ingressi di Milano (out May 15) has opted to catalogue one of the city's more conspicuous treasures: its entryways. Comprised of 144 images, the hefty tome spans grand, marble hallways in hues of sherbet lemon and marsala red, as well as sweeping cream staircases and ornate, limestone floors. But the devil is in the details, too: There are hand-sculpted ceramic door handles, swinging pendant lamps, and exquisite mosaics—in all, a far cry from your average New York City walk-up. For the book’s editor, Karl Kolbitz, it’s the places that speak to the everyday that are “the true emblems of Milan’s splendor.” Here, a selection of 13 of the most beautiful entryways in Milan.
