Where do celebrities and footballers live in Milan?

Milan, with its hypnotic, multifaceted, and effortlessly elegant charm, continues to captivate. From historic districts to cutting-edge developments, the city caters to every taste, attracting a growing number of celebrities and footballers who are snapping up properties in its most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Some have chosen Brera, Isola, Corso Como, or CityLife. Here’s a closer look at these prestigious areas and their famous residents.

Brera: Milan’s bohemian heart

With its artistic soul, picturesque streets and timeless atmosphere, Brera exudes an old-world charm that makes it one of Milan’s most desirable locations. The area has long been home to well-known figures, including footballers Paolo Maldini and Walter Zenga, though some have relocated in recent years, even beyond Italy.

Brera also boasts prestigious residences such as that of singer Eros Ramazzotti, while TV presenter Barbara D’Urso has also lived in the district.

Bosco Verticale: Milan’s mini Manhattan

The striking twin towers of the Bosco Verticale, located in the Isola district, stand as a symbol of sustainable urban living. Offering panoramic views and a constantly changing canvas of lush greenery, these residences are among the most coveted addresses in the city.

Notable residents include fashion designers Diego Dolcini and Gaia Trussardi, Italy’s national football coach Luciano Spalletti, and footballers Ivan Perisic and Felipe Melo. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was also a resident before his move to Paris.

A short stroll from the Bosco Verticale, in the fashionable Corso Como area, one finds the homes of music producer Claudio Cecchetto, footballer Gennaro Gattuso, writer and broadcaster Fabio Volo, and actor Diego Abatantuono.

Meanwhile, in the nearby Via Melchiorre Gioia district, home to the new Versace and Inter headquarters, Diletta Leotta resides in a luxury apartment.

CityLife: Milan’s futuristic district

Set against the striking skyline of the Three Towers, nicknamed ‘the Straight, the Twisted, and the Curved’, CityLife is a cutting-edge residential district where modern architecture meets high-end living.

The Libeskind and Hadid residences, with their distinctive cruise ship-like designs, have attracted numerous high-profile figures, including footballers Biglia, Kessié, Handanovic, and Lautaro Martínez.

Footballers have also made their mark on the Portello district, home to Casa Milan, the headquarters of AC Milan. At Parco Vittoria, residents include Çalhanoglu, Conti, Caldara, Calabria, and De Vrij, with their home bases shifting as their careers evolve.
