Palazzo Sormani Andreani
Corso di Porta Vittoria, 6, 20122 Milan, Italy
#143 of 733 things to do rated by Real Travelers

More information on Palazzo Sormani Andreani

Cesare Monti, a descendant of the like-named cardinal, entrusted Francesco Croce the task of refurbishing the building that he owned. The design of the façade reflects the trapezoidal shape of the plot. The central volume, surmounted by a curving gable, is linked to the wings by two lateral terraces: the frames of the windows on the ground floor are echoed on the floor above by the design of the spaces above the windows. Inside, the courtyard has porticoes on two sides: the interior façade, facing the garden, was designed in 1756 by Benedetto Altieri along classical lines. Feature of interest: On the first floor, the 'Grecchetto' room includes frescoes on the legend of Orpheus by painter giovan Battista Castiglione. Today it houses the Municipal Library.
