Cascina Linterno, Monastic grange in Milan, Italy

Cascina Linterno stands as a two-story agricultural complex with a closed courtyard design typical of Lombard architecture in northern Italy.

The establishment originated as a simple granary in the 12th century, with initial documentation dating back to 1154 when it served monastic communities.

Francesco Petrarch, the renowned Italian poet, selected this location as his residence during his stays in Milan between 1353 and 1361.

The structure, located at Via Fratelli Zoja 194, maintains its original agricultural landscape features including water springs and traditional irrigation systems.

This granary remains the only surviving structure among the four documented residences of Petrarch in Milan during the 14th century.
