Cantoni's masterpiece
The building, dating to around 1770, was created by architect Simone Cantoni. The design heightens the monumental character of the central part, with a three-floor façade. Opposite the entrance, a helical staircase leads to the first floor, that has been refurbished and in part restored, with a Neoclassical hall by Traballesi. In 1796 it was used for three months by Napoleon and Josephine during their sojourn in Milan. Today it is in part residential, and in part used by a number of associations.
