Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde

Money, money, money!

Popularly known as the "Ca' de Sass" (house of stones) due to its rusticated stone facade, it was designed by G. Balzaretto in 1868-1872 as the head office for the Cassa di Risparmio bank. Based on the Florentine Renaissance conception of the palazzo, or palace, the building is meant to be an allusion to the banking activities conducted by members of this Medici-controlled city. Extending right down the block, the building consists of a central body and two wings with terraces.
