Description

The building stands along the luxurious and expensive Via Monte Napoleone. It features a Neoclassical style. The main façade includes four Ionian columns that create a loggia.[1] Separating the lower and upper windows in the loggia, there is a bas-relief by Gaetano Monti known as the Imprese di Francesco Sforza.
