Milano Hollow Chantry

The Milano Hollow Chantry is a Hollow One hotel in Italy.

Overview

In the 1920s and 30s, the building that now holds this Hollow chantry was a fancy hotel found within walking distance of the Duomo cathedral; the biggest and greatest example of late Gothic architecture in Italy. The hotel flourished through World War II but, shortly thereafter, its bankrupted owners were forced to sell it. It changed hands numerous times with several owners trying to renovate and reopen it. None of them, though, had enough business savvy to make it work.

Then, in 1971, Bernardo Veneducci bought it at a state auction. He had been searching for just the right building to house his cabal. He lives in the Renaissance Suite himself and has renovated the 20 bedrooms in the hotel into comfortable living quarters. Those who live there gather in the gorgeous 1920s ballroom for meals, meeting, and socializing.
