Loggia degli Osii, Gothic loggia in Piazza Mercanti, Milan, Italy
The Loggia degli Osii features a three-story facade with white and black marble decoration, triple mullioned windows, and a ground-floor portico with octagonal columns.
Between 1316 and 1321, Matteo I Visconti commissioned this civic building to accommodate judicial and notary activities adjacent to the Palazzo della Ragione.
The marble balcony named parlera contains an eagle holding prey sculpture, from where judges proclaimed sentences and edicts to the public.
The ground floor portico connects directly to Piazza Mercanti, providing covered passage for pedestrians and access to the upper levels.
The structure incorporates Genoese architectural elements, influenced by Matteo Visconti's marriage to Valentina Doria from Genoa.
