Casa Campanini ("House Campanini") is an art nouveau building in Milan, Italy, located at 11, Via Bellini.[1] It was completed between 1903 and 1906 by architect Alfredo Campanini, who later inhabited the building.[1]

A main visual feature of the buildings are the concrete caryatids, located at its main entrance, by the sculptor Michele Vedani, which represent a reference to those of Palazzo Castiglioni (by architect Giuseppe Sommaruga), another art nouveau building in Milan.[2] The wrought iron gate, designed by Campanini and created by Alessandro Mazzucotelli, is decorated with flower patterns; similar decorations are also found in the internal lift cage, also in iron.[1][2]

The interior of the palace has a number of polychrome glasses, friezes, and frescos, all in an art nouveau style; some of the inner rooms still house the original furniture and pottery. Decorations, representing cherries, are found on the ceiling of the internal yard.[1]
