The presence of Caccia Dominioni family in Piazza Sant’Ambrogio dates back to the 15th century. After their house was damaged by bombs in 1943, young Luigi was given the task of reshaping it.
The facade is composed of horizontal stripes forming five different stories.
At the height of the second and third floor, are balconies with monograms with the initials of Caccia’s parents, representing the only ornament in a somewhat serious façade. On the other hand, the first and fourth floor, with their hollow cavities, are reminiscent of the Lombard rural tradition. The outside is marked by numerous windows, which according to his view, had to be at the same time as small as possible but also as panoramic as ever. Windows are considered as the real medium between life unfolding inside and life outside, allowing for a continuum between the two, and therefore an integration of the building in the historical urban pattern.
