Palazzo Castiglioni, Art Nouveau palace in Corso Venezia, Milan, Italy

The palace features a rusticated stone facade, tall narrow windows framed by cherubs, and intricate wrought iron decorations throughout its monumental structure.

Architect Giuseppe Sommaruga designed the palace between 1901 and 1903 for entrepreneur Ermenegildo Castiglioni as a statement against conventional Milanese architecture.

Two female statues representing Peace and Industry were removed from the entrance due to public controversy over their nudity in early 1900s Milan.

The building now serves as the headquarters of the Milan Traders' Union, with an auditorium constructed beneath the garden for business meetings.

The Milanese population nicknamed the palace 'Ca di ciapp' due to the controversial nude statues that once decorated its main entrance.
