Casa degli Omenoni, Mannerist palace in central Milan, Italy
The building features eight colossal stone sculptures of male figures called telamoni on its facade, alternating with arched and triangular windows.
Leone Leoni, Imperial Mint engraver of Milan, constructed this palace in 1565 as his residence and sculpture workshop with his son Pompeo.
The palace contained a substantial collection of artworks, including paintings by Titian and manuscripts by Leonardo da Vinci, now in Biblioteca Ambrosiana.
The building stands near Piazza San Fedele, a short distance from Milan Cathedral and Teatro alla Scala, with its entrance at Via degli Omenoni 3.
A relief under the cornice depicts two lions tearing apart a satyr, referencing the surname Leoni of the original owner.
