At Home in Milan with Nicolo Castellini Baldissera

- Tag along to Milan, Italy for a behind the scenes visit with designer Nicolo Castellini Baldissera. See how, upon returning to his native city, Nicolo transformed a mere white box of an apartment into a colorful, eclelctic and personal home, reflecting his many travels and love of northern Morocco (be sure to watch our visit with Nicolo in his Tangier home • At Home in Tangier wit... ). Hear how he used saturated hues, trompe l’oeil and specialty paint finishes to bring the outdoors in and a golden glow to evening spaces. Learn how Nicolo’s family, a distinguished Italian design dynasty, has influenced his career and remarkable eye. And join us as we also visit Casa degli Atellani, Nicolo’s ancestral home, where his great grandfather, the renowned architect Piero Portaluppi (of Villa Necchi fame) restored, renovated and expanded the original Renaissance palazzo. As a member of Milanese inner circles, it was only natural that Nicolo follow up his first volume, Inside Tangier, with a similar look at interiors in his home city, Inside Milan, just published by Vendome Press. Links to both books below. For more visit quintessenceblog.com

Oh, my! Not long enough! And the clips were too short and camera panning too fast! I didn’t get my “fix.” More, please.
Beautiful. I wish you have expend more time on decor
You don't have to be a wealthy European or American blue blood to have an artist, eclectic home as this channel may seem to suggest. In my 750 square foot apartment in Chicago, I painted a 19 foot landscape that wraps around two walls in the living room. In the bedroom the walls are hand burnished gold and the ceiling is a cross between an Arabian nights tapestry and a 1920s supper club. All it takes is some paint and a vision. Scour unique items from flea markets and estate sales and you have the same atmosphere as these even if significantly smaller.
We share exceptional examples of top designers at home around the world so our viewers can be inspired, learn from them and make it their own.
I think it's more for inspiration. But I can't help feeling like this is so far from my reality. Which can be depressing but it can also be a nice escape from daily life. When I lived in Mexico I got to do some basic design experiments, like different bright colors for each room. But there aren't any thrift stores in Mexico so finding neat things was hard. But we made do and got creative sometimes. My husband made me a little desk out of an old wooden gate. And I put plants in glass containers, either from food or bottles. We painted a mural on one of our walls. You can have a similar artistic designed life on the skimpiest of budgets. Back in the US, can't really do all that but now I have thrift stores! And photography!
Id like to see your house!
So true! Same for me
That sounds glorious! It is truly remarkable what can be done with inspiration, vision, and fearlessness. Time and again, I see that the difference between the pros and the rest of us are usually those things, sometimes even more than budget.
His house in Tangier is one of my all time favorites, and this house in Milan does not disappoint!! I am such a fan of the multi-layered, inviting look of his houses!!😍❤️
So glad you loved!!
That’s pretty crazy that your family has ties to da Vinci and his vineyard is in your backyard. Very cool place and nice that it’s open to everyone. Still, this is very unusual!
His Tangier home was one of my all time Quintessence favourites - and now Milan! Its a riot of colour yet placid, peaceful and relaxing, the guest bedroom is wholly inviting. You could only feel joyously happy in this apartment, he has banished doubt and depression. It was lovely that you included a shot of his father welcoming him with a kiss, those of us who are not Italian know that in Italy family is everything, even more important than interior design and decoration! Thank you for letting us into another world.
Our complete pleasure!!!
He perfectly parallels his apartment in his personal style- colorful, joyful, sophisticated and unexpected. -Chef's kiss
Yes, exactly!
I was definitely picking up some Hemingway's Cuba vibes. I am glad he allowed us another fascinating tour.
LOVE his Moroccan home and am thrilled to see his house in Milan!! Gave me goosebumps, spectacular use of color, fabrics, everything!!
Too many beatiful things to admire in such a short time!
Just a blow away. I’m so in love with this man’s style & look forward to seeing his next iteration in the family home. That went WAY TOO FAST- I wanted time to bond with that kitchen. So phenomenal.
LOL - thank you!
Yes I agree
Very eccentric! Love his style. Awesome book!
A perfect gift for a loyal serving employee,very lucky to be his family,the estate is beautiful and full of history.Susanna thank you again for bringing this wonderful family to us in their intimate settings.
Our pleasure!
I hope you visit again once he moves. This is my favorite RUclips channel. I’m always checking to see if a new video is available. I rewatched many over and over. You need a Netflix movie of all the quintessence stories. What a beautiful story it would be!
Thank you please subscribe if you don’t already, so that you get a notice as soon as our monthly video drops!
We were waiting, waiting, waiting...for it ))
Nicolo’s apartment is like a photo album of his life experiences.
And the palazzo of his family is like a dream! Next time I wish we could see more of that.
Charming, a delightful home.
I bet the dining room gold is spectacular in person.
I want to see more of his apartment and the big house!
Amazing interior design and such a great owner!!!😍😍😍
Sucha a feast for the eyes and the soul. Happy to see that there are people who live like that.
wow!! beautiful,
and Susanna looking smashing in black.
Thank you!!
Absolutely marvellous!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
You're very welcome!
Wow! That was spectacular. I need to order his book on Milan.
Yes! Link in description!
Amazing, I love how the home owners love to show there homes.
As always, his choice of color is spectacular. I love his tablescapes as well.
Wowza! Put a little color into your life! Thanks again Susanna and Stacey 💙🦋💙
Our pleasure!!
I love the color of his eyes and his homes and his furnishings. Very curious to know how many languages he speaks
Wow, I love both houses! So much history, culture, and taste. Nicolo‘s color scheme is giving me some ideas for my own new house!! Thanks again to Susanna for a wonderful curated home tour!!
I just loved this. Beauty everywhere the eye looks!
This is amazing and breathtaking to know the history and that Nicolo's father and family still live in it!!
Thank you for this fabulous tour of this amazing jewel box. No matter where we roam , it’s so good to go home again. 💗💗💗💗
True! Glad you enjoyed!
Once you move abroad, you are forever split between your origins and the new country and adventures you begin to love so much. I can very much imagine the joy Nicolo is feeling to return home, especially to such an incredible legacy & hometown. As a gypsy myself, I have been contemplating a lot on the role of design in my life and truly, it is the capacity to create and recreate "home" wherever in the world you find yourself as well as to cultivate special & memorable environments for others to enjoy and share.
Those wall colors…..perfection!😘
Every room a delightful view and His Father and Aunts home- utterly splendid!
Help me please, I'm falling down because I'm so bowled over by the beauty of this place. Incredible.
Lol - please don’t hurt yourself!! So glad you loved!
Boo to white boxes and hurray for Ser Nicolo's colourful, layered rooms. Can't wait for the book!
YES to that! Link to book in description!
The decoration is fantastic in this home. Thank you Susanna and Stacey for a wonderful video.
Our pleasure! Thank YOU for watching!

THANK YOU!!
@@quintessenceblg love you guys ❤️
@@tiffanycurtis4794 🙏🏻😘
Yes! Finally!
i never cease to be amazed to the attention given to what some may think is the most minute detail but makes the largest impact. the adorable pelican wearing the straw hat, that tiny staircase set up under the beautiful portrait of a woman sitting in a chair of the same colors , matching that very room's sofa! i once worked in a fine furniture store who did lots of custom work and was surrounded by multitudes of fabrics. this channel is always such a wow for me. i always look forward to weekly updates - thank you Susanna and Quintessence!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate your comment and all your accurate observations! 🙏🏻
Oh my, now I have to watch again, and take it your incredible eye for those fun details. This video was a visual treat for my eyes this morning! Thank you!
I saw that miniature staircase and I was filled with wonder, it's like a dollhouse staircase which I love!
Trompe l'oiel secretary is wonderful.
Looks like it might be Fornasetti!
that was way toooo short!!!!
What a beautiful and amazing home it's so nice that we get to see the homes of such talented interior designers and the Quintessence team do a amazing job at finding these remarkable people l keep saying that Quintessence is the best interior designer channel on RUclips.

His home in Tangier was one of my favorite decor videos ever, on any channel.
Delighted to hear that! It is a very special spot!
the vibrant colors, the layering I'm here for it all. great presentation (as always) Susanna your outfit was everything.
Thank you!!!!!
Okay ... that was wayyyyy too short!!! I want more ... always from Quintessence!!! Awesome sauce!!!
I agree , it seems video’s are getting shorter…
They went all the way to Milan for a 5:28 video. Don't get it🙄
And !!!! I loved what he was wearing!!!!
Right?! Me too!
Me too!!!
This video is fantastic😍😍😍 but too much short! Greetings from Udine, Italy!!
Grazie!
Wow! And judging by the who’s who listed in Niccolo’s book, we hope to see more Italian interiors?!!
How refreshing to see colour in rooms with interesting pieces to satisfy the soul 🥰🇬🇧xxxx
Nicolo Castellini Baldissera has a beautiful home. Very eclectic.
👍🏻👍🏻
It's delightful to see the homes of people with exuberant taste. My people! Edit! Here's hoping that we get a tour of dad's house when he moves! :)
That is his dads house you see! The 2nd part of the video
@@susannasalk7153 Yes, indeed. Thank you for your kind reply.
Just hoping for something more comprehensive. The glimpses were quite intriguing.
Elegantly sunning.
Love watching over and over !
Another triumph - utterly delicious...
Thank you!
These videos need to be longer! 😍😍😍
Hermosisima casa Excelente gusto para decorar
Incredibly magnificent! If I went to Milan, I ‘d be hyperventilating, from the sheer beauty of it all!
Coming back for my dose of lived in beauty, and the Fornasetti desk.
It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Each one is different, elegant, colorful and cultured, each video is as instructive as finishing another novel. Thank you for myself.

@@xiomiminer "Let us dream longer." = Yes
Yes! I get frustrated because I'm always just settling into each video, loving exploring the interiors, and they end. Always lovely but too short.
Thank you once again for the inspiration!
Love color.
We do too!
After 4 months, i am watching your beautiful videos. Your videos always inspire me.
Que casa linda! Encanto de cores com sofisticação, charme e descontração num mix maravilhoso de bom gosto e aconchego...💓💓💓💓
👍🏻👍🏻

So enjoyed must have the book.
There's a link in the description!
I do not know how I missed this video. Beautiful apartment. Thank you for the video!
Our pleasure!
Thank you.
Glad to see you back, all the best
another video. another inspiration
OK, somehow I missed the release of this in my notifications!!! First of all, the commercial! Those place cards! Going to the site NOW! Secondly, what a provenance of experience from all the places Niclolo has lived and how much it shows up in his home - there is a purity in that and it rules over trend and definitely sans and kitsch-i-ness! (Kitsch is a term applied to art and design that is perceived as naïve imitation, overly-eccentric, gratuitous, or of banal taste. The avant-garde opposed kitsch as melodramatic and superficial affiliation with the human condition and its natural standards of beauty.) I'd move in with my father and aunties if they owned that property and support the custodial future of such a lovely home too! Kudos!
So glad you enjoyed it all!!
👏🏽🙌🏽✨
Lovely to see a house where the colours are not co ordinated
👏👏👏👏
Beautifull
Great sense of color, design, and sophistication. Would have loved to see a longer and more in-depth tour of these two elegant homes.
Beautifull appartement!!😍🥰💖🌻☀️🌹🌺🤗🌼💮🌸🍀🌷💐❤️ Love from Marseilles
Wow!
I like it!
The second home is truly lovely! So much texture and architecture! I lived all the mural work too! Great job guys! 🎉
Thank you!
Another inspiring video! The blue/green and gold go so well together in his apartment. A few days a I was wondering if I could pair them in my home. I am going to try now. Thanks.
So glad you found inspiration for your own home!
Unbelievable gorgeous
Extradinary life !
So does he still have the home in Tangiers? That was so lovely.
Yes
James Allison's comment says it all!
Quanta bellezza! 😍
It's not my taste but I'm glad he loves it and I'm sure others will too.❤
don't come here as a me me, me. Just sayin'.
@@gregpendrey6711 what?
I spend a part of the year in Milan. It really seems like there is a maximalist style that is unique to the Milanese. Somehow they seem to nail maximalism without putting too much thought into it. Of course, NCB's place had a large Moroccan influence but my point can be seen in the book he just released on the Milanese home.
❤❤️🤩
